Thanks, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank the member opposite for that motion.
I personally believe it's always important to have ministers and their officials appear before committee. I am certainly in favour of the minister appearing, and I know she would be as well, but I'd like to think, and I'd like to remind some folks, that perhaps what we could do is look at scoping this in a more definitive fashion.
I propose that we amend the motion to state that the minister would appear to speak to the mandate letter from the Prime Minister, which is significant, and to the supplementary estimates (C) for 2021-22. Given that this meeting is happening before the House returns, I would also like to leave room for the actual tabling of the supplementary estimates (C), in terms of timing.
I propose that we look at an amendment to this, which would reflect the framework under which.... It would speak to the mandate letter and also to the supplementary estimates (C).
