I'm just sensing a bit of...from our side. I've been on this committee before. It would happen that once in a while ministers appear on both dates. I didn't hear any objections as to having the department appear after, so I don't know what the issue is if you want the department.... I've been at committees where opposition members just wanted to question the ministers and the heck with the department, but if the opposition wants the department to appear, I don't sense that we have an objection on this side. We've never had an objection, so it's just a matter of scheduling. It's not a big issue.
