Allow me to be a little surprised by the discomfort. Ultimately, it’s clear that the first part of the meeting is dedicated to Treasury Board. In doing so, we will be pleased, just like you, to ask questions of the President of the Treasury Board and his team concerning the aspect of Treasury Board that concerns us.
As for the second part, it’s perfectly normal that Minister Miller, who has just taken on that role, may not be as available to answer all questions today. However, given that our two official languages, including French, are so important in our lives, as we have discussed several times in the committee, we have a great opportunity. Indeed, we can maximize the presence of members of the Canadian Heritage team by first asking them questions about what is important.
What I understand is that Minister Miller will be pleased to come see us at a later meeting. Of course, when the minister appears, he comes with members of his team. We can, however, maximize their presence today. For my part, I’m delighted that we can take advantage of this opportunity, instead of wasting an hour saying that the committee has no other guests this morning.
So, for our part, what was proposed by the clerk and the chair is perfectly fine with us.
