I appreciate that. I don't think we're trying to be heavy-handed; I think all we're trying to do is do the best we can to try to persuade the minister. I think the chair can be in touch with the minister, in addition to the motion. The motion does no harm. It is not as if he's being cited for contempt; the motion is simply a formal way of trying to persuade the minister to reconsider.
