If the province of Ontario isn't represented, then you can forget about me being here on Thursday. There won't be a meeting as far as I'm concerned.

What I'm saying is that, if the Government of Ontario isn't represented, I won't be attending.

We all agree on the need for both deputy ministers of the Government of Ontario to be present.
Is everyone agreed? Good.
Allow me to read the proposed motion anew:
That the Committee invite the Deputy Minister for Tourism, Official Languages and La Francophonie, the Deputy Minister for Training, Colleges and Universities of Ontario, the Deputy Minister of Francophone Affairs of Ontario, and Dyane Adam, Chair of the board of governors of the Université de l'Ontario français, to appear before the Committee to provide an update on the situation of the Université de l’Ontario français on Thursday, December 13, 2018, if possible.
Is that agreed?

Incidentally, I would remind the clerk that we can all converse remotely by video conference. They won't need to come all the way here.
In any case, the only thing they will have to say is that, as far as Ontario's concerned, it's over, it's finished.

I believe we should keep discussing this in camera before voting on the motion.
Let's suspend for a few minutes.
