It seems to me, and the government has indicated this, that dealing with the supplementary estimates is a priority. If it's a priority, then part of that process is that the minister appears before the committee to answer questions. I would suggest that a strong message be sent to the minister that she rejig her schedule so that she can come before committee on Tuesday and can then have some time to review any recommendations we might make here before those estimates are passed on Thursday.
On February 5th, 2009. See this statement in context.
