The Clerk of the Committee Ms. Bibiane Ouellette

I was notified by all three departments. I only had time to have one letter from the Department of Human Resources translated explaining why they couldn't come.

I had a letter from the Department of Public Works, and then yesterday I received an e-mail saying they declined the invitation.

I also had an e-mail from Treasury Board saying that they would have another opportunity to come before the committee, that they had already been here last week, and they thought that was sufficient.
