I used to be PS to trade, and I know the minister is very busy. He's been in Geneva, he's doing a lot of trade talks, and he's probably very busy in his riding right now, so I don't think it's fair to ask him to come here on July 18. I think he's committed to coming here on July 31, and we should go with that. That's what we should stick with, in all fairness to him.
On July 13th, 2006. See this statement in context.
