Let's be clear, Madam Chair. An invitation was sent to the minister along with his officials. There was a request for an hour and a half. They said they could spend one hour here. This is the second appearance by the minister in some two weeks of committee hearings in relation to the same issue. Certainly, he's suggested they come back at a later date on an invitation from the committee. I think that's very reasonable, and I think the request of Mr. Martin, quite frankly, is not reasonable.
