I thought that my mind had been wandering for a moment, but that wasn't the case. How many times are we going to have to ask the ministers to appear? They're going to go back and forth with us because they do not want to appear before the Official Languages Committee on such an important issue. I can't believe it. I understand that they are not available Thursday; indeed, they will never be available.
On June 19th, 2007. See this statement in context.
