Absolutely.
Why would we move to have multiple other ministers come when we couldn't have the minister who's really in control of most of the portfolio here? At the end of the day, what should be done is that at the same time that we move forward with the agencies coming in, we should be inviting the ministers as well.
Why on earth would a committee not want the ministers to come to it? Even if you were to say, “We want the ministers to come, but after the agencies”, why wouldn't we start with the invitation now? It just makes sense.
The only thing I can think of is that you don't want the ministers here to be held accountable. That makes no sense to me. We were elected to do a job. Let's do it, guys. Let's invite them to come here. Let's have them come and be held accountable.
Yes, Mr. Chair.
