Yes, Madam Chair, thank you very much.
To be consistent with the changes we've just made, I'd say that I enjoy politics, but only when it's done well.
We've introduced an amendment that would require us to ask the clerk to officially request the Prime Minister's presence.
I believe that the Prime Minister has the prerogative to decide whether or not to accept, and we need to leave the door open to the possibility that the Prime Minister could not appear within a week, as Mr. Blaikie has requested. In the event of non-appearance, I understand that we would add an annex on the non-appearance of the Prime Minister to our report. That would enable us to move ahead and work on Bill C‑19 and, potentially, take stock of how the COVID‑19 pandemic is being managed.
I now give the floor to any other committee members who would like to comment.
