Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I actually wanted to advise the committee that I did speak to the minister, and he has informed me that he will try to make himself available for at least one of those dates to come in with the department to discuss estimates. At this stage it depends, of course, on his availability. He's trying to reschedule his other appointments, but it looks like Tuesday, November 7, for at least an hour would probably fit with his schedule. I will be able to advise the committee in due course.
