We don't need to presume what the minister's response may or may not be to an invitation that has yet to be extended. I think it's sufficient to say that the minister will come when he can come, should he be invited, but we won't know that until we extend the invitation. So I'm happy with it as is.
Do we have a reasonable preamble to this? Fine. It would be:
That in the context of a broader study of Canada/U.S. trade relations, the Committee hold hearings regarding the Canada/U.S. agreement on government procurement, signed by the Canadian government with the Obama Administration, and which came into force February 16, 2010, its impact on Canadian communities, businesses and employment, and that the committee invite the Minister of International Trade in this regard.
Mr. Keddy, do you have a final comment?
