Thank you to the members of the committee for having me.
Mr. Aubertin‑Giguère, thank you for taking part in the committee meeting today.
If I'm not mistaken, the committee had invited Commissioner Boegman and Minister Anandasangaree to appear today. Unfortunately, it's just you. I am not downplaying your importance as a person. However, generally speaking, it's not the role of a deputy minister to speak publicly on behalf of the government. Rather, you're there to provide policy advice.
Do you feel that appearing by yourself is a bit like being thrown to the wolves?
