Thank you, Mr. Chair.
In deference to your previous instructions, I will note again that this wasn't what we agreed to. We want to hear from the witnesses today on this important study, so we won't belabour the point. We had hoped the minister would make himself available for two separate meetings. It's clear that is no longer going to happen.
That being said, we're prepared to allow the Liberals to use their majority to get their way. We'll go with that.
