As elected members, we're working in the summer. I think we're all happy to learn about cooperatives and their importance, because they touch our ridings; they touch everybody. So I find it kind of hard to believe that we're on this committee, we're working through the summer.... Are we doing due diligence by missing this international conference? Do you think it's...?
I find it hard to believe that we're doing a report and then we're missing out. We're submitting the report to Parliament without going to meet international key players at this meeting.
Can you comment on that? Do you think it's...?
