Thank you, Madam Chair.
Carrying on with what Marie-France said earlier about the dates, were the dates that were given to the ministers specific dates, or were they given a wide range of dates? That is very important. I don't think the clerk has clearly indicated that, even though she said that one date was given and then the alternate date was given. I would like to clear that up.
Secondly, as you said, Madam Chair, for this committee and its business, the number of days and the days we can work came out recently. I want to know, because I have previously seen the ministers appear here on very short notice as well.
This the first time I'm hearing, on this committee, that ministers are not coming and that they're trying to avoid it. I don't think that is the case, because the ministers have always been accessible to this committee. Sometimes, in a month, I have seen the Minister of Immigration appear three times.
Hopefully, we will start working, and all of the ministers will be given ample opportunity to appear on different dates that are flexible and with enough notice.
