Mr. Chairman, I hope that I will not have to debate this at length, because it seems evident to me that our first responsibility, as parliamentarians, is to examine the estimates that are submitted to us. Since my being elected, I have made it a duty of mine, on Committee and at each supplementary estimates request, to ask the Minister to come and meet with us in order to answer our questions.
It seems to me that this is part of our work and that it simply makes sense. I therefore believe that there will not be much debate if colleagues around the table are in agreement with my motion. It is a perfect opportunity to question the Minister with regard to this supplementary estimates request. I therefore invite my colleagues to agree with me to our asking Mr. Anderson to request of the Minister that he make himself available to us.
