I'm sorry, Mr. Chair. I'm going to have to respond to that.
You used the WhatsApp platform, which is a platform that we don't normally use for committee. Then the message was delivered only in English and not in French as well, which is also inappropriate. In about an hour, a decision was made.
You are correct that I was dealing with a family emergency. My mother was in the hospital, so I did not get to WhatsApp and all the different platforms. I was checking my emails, and then that didn't happen.
On a different note, Mr. Chair, you were inquiring about last week with respect to the meeting. You actually called me to ask for my opinion. With respect to this latest issue, you didn't do that. You did not follow the same protocol or even proper protocol, to be honest. It's just kind of all over the place, however you want to do it.
Then one party responded, and that became the decision. I don't think that is appropriate, Mr. Chair.
