I'll pick up where my friend left off.
I think if it's the will of this committee that we put it out, and if the minister continues to not make herself available, then that will be duly noted. I think that when a committee calls for a witness, whomever it may be, it's incumbent.... If it's the will of this committee that this is the direction we go in, the minister treating it as an administrative or scheduling inconvenience is not really our problem, quite frankly.
I'm ready to vote on this. If it's the case that the minister can't find the time to show up at the committee she is responsible for, on this particular issue, so be it.
