Mr. Chair, the subcommittee was discussed before you were elected as chair. Going back to that, I think there are issues that have sort of cropped up over the summer, certainly issues that affect this committee and the work of this committee. I'm sure that if you were to canvass us, the majority of us around this table would certainly want to get the minister in our midst as soon as possible. If the minister doesn't want to come, I'm just wondering if the parliamentary secretary can share with us if there's a hidden agenda in the department.
