Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you very much for coming out on the last day of July in this heat to discuss this very hot issue in Canadian history.
I'm surprised and somewhat shocked that the government did not consult you on this issue, as a provincial partner, because we heard this morning from the minister that all attempts were made to discuss and receive some sort of acknowledgement and cooperation from all provincial partners. This is directly related to the minister's remarks.
Is there any way they could have made some contact that you aren't aware of, Mr. Minister?
