Thank you very much for that.
I'm a little bit disturbed, and I hope that this will be accepted as a subamendment as well. The words “be invited” are included in here. Normally, in our motions, we invite the minister to appear. Our motions normally simply say that the Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship appear before the committee. It's not to say that we invite a minister. What I'm worried about is that if we make the invitation, they'll say, “Well, I'm too busy. I can't come.” Then we have done our job. We have accommodated this motion, but then we actually didn't achieve the result of having the minister here.
I would ask that we strike the words, “be invited to” and simply have it read that these different ministers appear before the committee, Mr. Chair. Then that, I think, will set aside potential concerns that if the invitation has been extended that we have satisfied this motion, even if the ministers are not available to come to the committee.
