If I may, Mr. Chair, I just want to clarify. I fear my name may have been used in vain in my absence here. I did get an email from the minister this morning just apologizing that he wouldn't be here in person, but nothing about the committee specifically. It was just that the weather and the wind were bad in Newfoundland, to which I said, “Okay, great.” I didn't really know he was speaking specifically about committee. I wasn't actually aware that the minister was going to be here.
That said, I don't really care. It would nice to be a little more explicit next time, but I'm happy to have the discussion and move along.
