I simply want to make a comment. I thought that it had been made clear that the committee hoped to meet with the minister for two hours.
I understand that ministers are very busy and that they have other things to do, but we have a lot of questions to ask. The minister himself has chastised us for not inviting him more often. We should be able to take advantage of his presence and have enough time to exhaust all of our questions for him.
I simply want to point out that we had indicated our preference for a two-hour meeting with him in order to have enough time to question him.
