Chair, I'd like to make a clarification based on her comments. Her colleagues have made a similar comment with respect to the presence of the minister.
The minister has appeared 12 times at TRAN during this Parliament, for a total of 14.5 hours of testimony. This included five appearances on estimates.
I'd like to also point out that in the previous Parliament, under the Conservative government, transport ministers made a combined nine appearances at TRAN for a total of nine hours of testimony. Six of those appearances were on estimates.
