Thank you, Chair. I appreciate that. Let's stay with the friendly part of this for as long as we can because that's the part that feels real good.
We did have a discussion and I mentioned to Mr. Lukiwski that it's not unusual for committees to accommodate ministers given their busy schedules. I reflected the same thing about Mr. Mulcair and was able to show him copies of an event that's happening, an economics event where he's one of the scheduled speakers. I asked if the government would extend the same courtesy to move it from the 13th to the 15th. They agreed they would. So at this time, Chair, I'll move that.
I have nothing to say about that further, but I would appreciate a chance to speak to the amended motion, assuming this passes.
