Chair, I think we need a little bit more about the deal in terms of what this would have meant had there not been the merger or the acquisition and whether or not those jobs would actually have continued.
But the more specific question is perhaps to Mr. Carrie. I'm hoping that the minister will be here for more than one hour. It would seem that with one hour or one round of questions, there is usually very little time to explore any issue other than one or two. So I would ask Mr. Carrie to persuade his minister to be here for two hours, so that we could, at the very least, hear the minister give ample response, where he can, to the proposals and this particular issue.
I personally think that pending the minister's comments or what he has to say on this, the motion should wait here at least another week and a half or so. We've already proceeded with the first motion.
Thank you.
