The only objection I have here is that we're calling for the Deputy Prime Minister and departmental officials to be here. I understand we're doing that in this motion. If we pass this, I would like to specify that it is our intention to have her here for three hours so we don't have one of these situations in which they come back and say, “Sure, we'd be happy to come in for an hour”, and then, as old Bill Morneau used to do, blow 15 minutes on their opener and then do a little bob and weave and be out the door without having addressed any of the real issues. We need the minister for three hours.
