Mr. Chair, with all due respect to Mr. Barlow's motion, we see a pandemic that's changing on a daily basis. An opening statement next week by a minister could be a different opening statement than we would have heard today.
This does not show any respect at all to the Minister of Health. This is not something I have seen on any committee. I absolutely think...and I apologize to Mr. Barlow, but I feel this is a ridiculous request.
