I am putting an argument against his motion by saying that this motion topples that, so when I'm talking, I would appreciate it if you would let me do it.
I'm saying to the committee, and hopefully there's some sense on the committee to do this.... The Minister of Foreign Affairs has to come in front of this committee. The Minister of Foreign Affairs will be here, and he does want to talk. We have to fulfill that requirement. Then I'm saying that Mr. Dewar can do whatever he wants with his little political game that he wants to play at that given time. He can ask those questions that he wants to of the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
But there are two things. It is not possible for the Minister of Foreign Affairs to come for everything. This is within that period of time. The Minister of Foreign Affairs may not be able to schedule an appearance with that motion, but the Standing Orders commit him to come by May 31. By May 31 he has to appear in front of the committee, by request. That is there. So he will come. He has to come.
I am saying--and the foreign affairs minister has indicated this to me very clearly--that he's very amicable to come in front of the committee. He wants to talk about issues, and he has nothing to hide. He is more than happy to come here.
