The ministers decided to go against the recommendations of our motion, which said that one full meeting would be dedicated to the Minister of Health and officials, and that one full meeting would be dedicated to the Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship and officials. There were supposed to be two different meetings with their departments and with the two different ministers.
This is a compromise for the ministers, because they indicated that they wanted to meet together. This way, this would be accommodating the committee. Then it would work for the officials as well. The ministers could come in and have their say. Meanwhile, the committee could ask them some reasonable questions. I'm sure Canadians have many, especially when it comes to health care.
