For me, the meeting that was to take place today was fundamental. By requesting this meeting under Standing Order 106(4), we postponed consideration of the estimates, although that's an important issue we need to deal with. This is where the minister has to answer questions from committee members. It is something that needs to be done, and I do not want to compromise on Minister François‑Philippe Champagne's appearance and the items we need to address.
On December 12th, 2022. See this statement in context.
