Mr. Chair, the committee invited representatives from the Quebec government to appear, but they seem reluctant and nervous to meet with us, probably because of Mr. Lisée's election. I have friends over there, but I'm not as well-connected as other committee members. It would be helpful to know what's happening and why the Quebec government officials are reluctant to meet with the committee. The situation concerns me because the Government of Quebec could have proposed another way of doing things, which would have been very useful to our work.
