There is nothing mysterious about it. When the committee receives notice of the appointment made by the privy council and cabinet, it has a limited period of time in which to meet with the appointees. The clerk provides us with information during this period.
It is this timeframe that has to be respected. It would have to be respected if we had something against the appointment of the person in question. I have nothing against the person in question, and I am not questioning her appointment. That is not what I perceive to be the problem. I feel that, in light of the work that she will be doing, it is important to have enough time to talk with her. That is why the motion was tabled. We want to meet with her and have a real dialogue so that we can find out how she intends to approach the different issues that we are studying or that are important to us.
Please do not feel that I am planning to use this timeframe to challenge her appointment.
