In fact, I have a question, Mr. Chair. I have been going over the agenda for our next meeting on Wednesday, and I see that we will be hearing from witnesses during the first half of the meeting, and that we will be hearing from the minister during the last hour. I am surprised.
I have two questions. Firstly, will the minister appear alone, or accompanied by someone? Secondly, I've taken the time to study the budget and documents provided to us so that we can ask the minister good questions. I believe one hour with the minister is not enough time for us to consider such a substantial budget. Do you believe it would be appropriate to extend our meeting, perhaps with department officials, so that we can further delve into the department's finances?
