I thank my colleague for ceding his turn.
Not everybody got a turn. I didn't get a chance to ask questions of the minister. The minister specifically came in here to speak about the supplementary estimates and, through her joyous willingness, to answer extra questions. She knew, since she had been put on notice by the chair, that there were going to be questions asked about more than just the supps, and that's why she was doing that.
I think that Mr. Dusseault's motion is perfectly reasonable. One of the fundamental things we do is review how government operates and what it does. It's more than reasonable to have the minister return here to spend a full hour or more to speak specifically to the issue with the call centres and how the service levels are awful.
The most interaction a person will have in Canada is in trying to pay his or her taxes. If most attempts to contact the CRA wind up without the connection even being made and then a third of the answers are incorrect, I think that's worthy of this committee's attention and a more extensive discussion, whereas today we had the supps, the DTC, and perhaps seven minutes on the call centres.
In some weeks this committee has met every single day except for Fridays, even during travel. I don't mind doing more work. I'm looking forward to the opportunity to have the specific people involved in administering the call centres explain to us what is going on, the technology, and the direction that was given. There's a lot more detail to discover in an interaction at the committee than there is through question period, because we can go into the details and we can have a back-and-forth.
Mr. Chair, I think this is a good motion proposed by my colleague from the New Democrats, and we should seriously consider it.
