Thank you, MP Bendayan.
Just before I go to MP Dzerowicz and then to MP Davies again, I would like to answer MP Chambers's question. I want to thank the hard-working clerk for having gathered the information.
Every time the minister has been requested to come to a committee on a study, she has appeared. I'll give you an example. I note that the committee adopted a motion on September 21, 2023, to undertake a study on the increasing cost of buying or renting a home in Canada. The Deputy Minister and Minister of Finance said she was available to appear before the committee along with officials on this study for one hour. She appeared on December 7 and came with officials for that study, remaining for the additional hour.
She has appeared before for all legislation. She has always appeared.
