Mr. St-Cyr, I'm very open to the idea of working with the committee, the members here present, and with other members on all matters related to my department. In the case you refer to, I believe that a question of privilege was raised with the Speaker of the House, who ruled that the advertisements were normal, consistent with the rules and traditions, and that it was not a matter of privilege. Having said that, I am here to answer your questions. If we have advertising plans or bills in future, I will do my utmost to consult this committee.
