My comments are in light of the fact that the parliamentary secretary just offered to communicate at this moment with the minister. If Mr. Caron agrees to allowing that to happen, I would like to put forward another motion, which I will do right now just so that the committee is aware of what I would like to put on the table. It relates to the minister directly. I'm thinking that if it could be coordinated, you might have the minister here for both issues.
My motion would be that the committee invite the Honourable Diane Lebouthillier, the Minister of National Revenue, and officials from Canada Revenue Agency to testify about the main estimates 2016-17 on or before May 20, 2016.
Thinking about the value of the minister's time, if she is coming to committee, perhaps she could speak to the main estimates at that time as well, which is traditionally what we invite the minister to do.
I am looking for Mr. Caron's acceptance of this while we have a little bit of time, if the parliamentary secretary is serious about contacting the minister to get a date.
