I would've liked to be briefed ahead of time. We are the Standing Committee on Official Languages. I do not understand. The minister had told us, back when I sat on the committee—I left and then came back—that we would be the first to be apprised of its contents. Now we learn that the briefing will be open to all and sundry. We were never given the opportunity to review the report first. The minister also sent it to the Senate rather than sending it here.
I am not angry, but I do find it regrettable.
