I expressed at the meeting on Tuesday my disappointment that the timing of the press release did not give our constituents much time to respond. My colleague had asked that the press release not contain quotations with no attribution. That's why we were trying to do that editing. We checked the transcript, and my colleague did not say she wanted to have the quotation marks removed and then bring the press release back to the committee a month later. That was not her request.
I hope that next time, especially when we're making very small changes, the committee can agree to leave it in the hands of staff. That means we could get press releases out early, and this gives Canadians a chance to chew on our invitations longer.
