Madam Chair, I agree on the importance of hearing directly from the minister. Of course my colleague Ms. Gray is right that the minister did indicate that she would be open to coming back any time this committee thought it would be necessary.
I just wanted to flag that, given that it is Friday afternoon at this point, if we take the exact wording of Ms. Gray's motion, we are looking at the minister coming in the next essentially nine days, if we look at the working days left in the calendar before December 4. I wonder if it would be possible to amend the deadline of December 4 so that we can ensure that we meet the wording of the motion. I would suggest that perhaps we include the week of December 7—
