Could we pause the time, please? There was a point of order that was just mentioned.
At the end of the day, I'm not looking for answers that officials may give. If I have questions for officials, then I will ask the officials the questions. Right now, this is my time to ask the minister about what the minister knows about Bill C-8 and Bill C-12.
We actually asked for two separate meetings on Bill C-8 and Bill C-12. We didn't get them, even though the parliamentary secretary committed to them, so I will be asking the minister questions on both bills.
Why don't we actually start with one thing that's certainly germane to Bill C-8? When was the foreign interference commissioner supposed to be appointed, Minister?
