I have a question for the parliamentary secretary.
Given that we only have until February 12 to hear the minister on the estimates, I wonder if you had a proposed time slot for the minister to come.

It's up to the committee to invite her. I'm not aware of her schedule, but if that's what you want to do, then you'd better get that invitation in soon.

Is that what you're suggesting, Monsieur Blais, that the committee invite the minister?

Yes, and the invitation is now being extended. You are more than welcome to attend, even if a meeting of the subcommittee is scheduled Thursday morning at 11 a.m. If you put in the request to the minister immediately, she may be able to appear sooner than if we were to wait till later to ask her. I think the request can be made today.

We would like to invite the minister to come at her earliest convenience is what you're suggesting. We will invite her to come next week to consider the budgetary estimates.

The minister and her appropriate staff. Thank you.
With no further business to be heard today, I thank you very much for your cooperation today, gentlemen. I look forward to seeing the subcommittee on Thursday.
The meeting is adjourned.
