Mr. Chairman, I want to be clear. We're studying the action plan and making recommendations for the next action plan. We want to know the minister's position so that we can prepare our report on the next action plan. When the new action plan comes out, perhaps we'll ask the minister again to come and explain her new action plan. The old action plan will clearly expire soon. The purpose of this committee is to study the old action plan and to make proposals for the next one. The purpose of our discussions is to prepare the government's next action plan, and some of our questions have not been answered.
I think it is honourable to ask the minister to come to the committee. They seem to be saying the minister can't answer questions. If the minister can't answer the questions, she'll say so and she'll inform the committee of that. I'm sure the minister is competent, and she will be accompanied by a competent team. She can read the blues of our one-hour and 40-minute discussion, and she'll know where we're heading. We're preparing a report on the action plan so that we can comment on it and say what we would like it to contain.
