Having the supplementary (C)s is an important thing for the minister to talk about. You've eloquently put it very well that we have the parameters of “by the end of February”. We have the supplementary (C)s in there. I don't see the contradictory element unless we're looking at it through the lens of “Aha—if they're not tabled, the minister can't come”.
We want to set this committee in the proper kind of flow, in the sense that if the minister does want to come and speak on the supplementary estimates (C) and all the elements in the mandate letter and other elements as brought up by the committee, I don't think it's contradictory; it's in addition. Having the minister there for the hour and the officials there for two hours provides a much-needed, wholesome and direct discussion with important people on the fisheries file.
I wanted to make those points. Thank you.
