I underscore exactly what my colleague said, but I think what needs to be communicated equally is.... I feel that this committee, as one of the most important committees arguably on Parliament Hill, if not the most important committee on Parliament Hill, is being denied travel because of other priorities and mismanagement of the resources available. The mandate of this committee is to go out and do this, but the reason we're not getting this money, as has just been explained by the chair, is that it's been spent by other committees. That is absolute total nonsense. I'd like that communicated to whoever is managing the funds on the government's behalf.
