Thank you, Mr. Chair.
We know that we have a very hard-working team and that Madam Clerk, who does an excellent job, will do everything she can to get the witnesses. I am comfortable that if that absolutely cannot happen on Monday, then it happens as soon as it can happen and we have an understanding as a committee.
One issue I would state is that if the minister is not able to come in the next two weeks, counting from today, that would be quite disappointing. We've had senior ministers come to multiple other committees. This is the fifth motion we've all agreed to in order to invite Minister Joly, and she has yet to attend. I believe we're in week five or six since Parliament resumed. I want to ensure that she's aware that we have the expectation that she is to come imminently. Frankly, the Conservatives don't want to hear excuses as to how busy she is. Her colleagues are also very busy. We expect her to come and be held accountable for what's happening in the auto sector.
I just want to make it clear, through you to the minister, Mr. Chair, that we would very much appreciate it if she could make time to answer our questions in short order.
