Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to ask Mr. Ste‑Marie for clarification. If he provided it earlier, I'm sorry I missed it. Can he explain again why it is important that the Minister of Canadian Heritage appear before the committee at this time?
I would also like to ask a question about the time, as Ms. Dzerowicz did. In fact, I'm sharing my thoughts with the committee on this issue, reflecting on the discussion we just had about the importance of having time to work on the bill. I realize that the testimony of the Minister of Canadian Heritage would take some of that time.
In short, simply put, why is this so important and urgent?
