I'll be brief, Madam Chair.
For the most part, I think we can't make any assumptions. It's just not fair to the team to make any assumptions that any individual should be invited.
If in fact you want the parliamentary secretary to be invited—the minister, or anybody for that matter—just make it a part of the motion. That's simple. It's very clear what our expectations are as a committee. We'll go from there.
To have all this, what I would call, “rhetoric” is not helpful.
