Thank you very much.
I would also of course agree that we hear from the minister and the officials he has with him.
As has been discussed at length in the House, and also in the letter that the minister sent to the committee by way of explanation, political staff are not people who are decision-makers. They are accountable to the political member—in this case, the minister—and therefore the minister...being here, he is the one who is accountable to Parliament and to this committee, and I'm sure that the committee members will be able to ask him all the questions that they would have asked Ms. Astravas.
Therefore, I would suggest that we hear from the minister and the officials he has with him.
