Mr. Chair, I respect that you may complain about the tardiness of the tabling of public accounts. They were done according to the Standing Orders.
My issue is not with the witnesses being here, but out of respect for the witnesses who are here, you called this meeting last minute with less than 24 hours' notice. You and I have had these discussions before. It's disrespectful of us. It's a disrespect to our committee.
The tabling of the documents happened yesterday, and we have to allow members to prepare themselves to ask the right questions. Here we are again at your will. You didn't consult anyone. I didn't receive any emails from you.
Why do you not consult with the committee? Why do you not respect the will of committee?
