Thank you very much.
Although we certainly have had differences, I respect Mr. Beech and our continued negotiation both in public and off camera. I'll be really bold here and say—I'm hoping my whip is listening as I'm saying this—that if Mr. Beech is willing to go on record, right now, and guarantee that the Minister of Finance will appear at this committee for two hours, Conservatives would be in a very good place to move forward.
I know that this isn't part of the normal procedure, but I'm wondering, Mr. Chair, if we might have unanimous consent, if required, for Mr. Beech to answer my question.
