Madam Chair, I can understand the Liberals taking pride in having one of their ministers appear before the committee, but saying that this is generous is going rather too far. After all, he's not the Pope. The minister is paid to come and see us, particularly as the committee has adopted two motions to that effect. He simply needs to do what the committee, whose decisions take precedence, is asking of him. That's all.
But then it's all right for my colleague to be proud.
