Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I think, for Mr. Van Bynen's very reasons, it's quite appropriate to have the minister appear this week. We are in the middle of a pandemic and we've had a month now since Parliament was prorogued. I think it's just an opportunity to have the minister come here in a timely fashion and have the discussions with her in regard to the supplementary estimates (B), because then we're going to go right into the meetings for our own committee work subsequent to that. Rather than taking up meeting time in those areas, I think we could quite appropriately ask the minister to come this week. There are a lot of indications that the answers that might come up in the supplementary estimates, the answers that the minister might want to put forward in a presentation to us, might actually help us in the deliberations we will do in subsequent weeks.
For that reason, I believe it's totally appropriate that they do come this week. It's even more important because we are right in the middle of a pandemic that's expanding, so I would vote in favour of it.
