Mr. Chair, I'd like to remind the committee that we passed a motion for this study back in September. In that motion, the committee called for the minister to appear. We started this study on January 28, months after the motion was made. The minister appeared on short notice on February 2, on Bill C-15. She made time in her schedule on fairly short notice for that.
At that meeting, multiple members asked her about appearing. Three weeks later, the minister has not responded. Today, we heard that the clerk hasn't had a response. Today is meeting four out of six. Perhaps the parliamentary secretary could update the committee on whether he's had discussions with the minister about her appearance with this committee on this study.
