Regarding the date, I would like to make a counter-proposal off the record. We may find common ground quickly.
As for adding, “the Minister and her officials”, I want to point out that the motion, in its current form, already allows for that, without it necessarily containing those words. The motion does say, “That other witnesses include, but are not limited to:”. That way, when the committee defines the list, it can add that if it decides to invite the senior officials of the minister in charge of official languages to appear.
We could talk about the dates again. I think we will manage to find common ground.
