Would the government be open to the idea of one of us bringing forward a motion at the next steering committee meeting to have the Supreme Court nominee appear? Would the government be open to that? Clearly, the process has been interrupted. We met for an entire afternoon with Mr. LeBlanc and other colleagues of yours, the parliamentary secretary, Mr. Paradis, and we expected the Supreme Court candidate to appear. I would find it a shame if we curtailed a process that deserves to continue.
