Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I was ready to listen to an argument that something happened--things happen, family stuff and personal matters--but to tell us that they've been called to another meeting, given the problems here.... And you're right, we've been around this before. With all the situations we have going on in this nation right now around first nations people--I don't live too far from Caledonia--we're all living through the stress of that, and we get this kind of thing?
I'm not prepared to move forward. I want the deputy minister here. I want some bloody commitments. This is getting ridiculous. And it's not just this meeting, we're going back a number of audits, where we've had follow-up audits where they've said that wasn't good enough. So that's how we got to this point. That's why this was a priority. There was only one thing bigger in the whole report, and that was the firearms issue.
