There are three points, Mr. Bachrach. I'll make it quick, so I don't waste the time of the witnesses or the members.
First off, with respect to the minister, the minister had just attended our committee two meetings ago on the main estimates. There was full opportunity for members of the committee to actually discuss a lot of the issues, not just about the main estimates, but also about these issues that you raise.
The second point with respect to witnesses who come to committee, they are both invited as well as requested. It has been the tradition of the committee that when someone does request to participate as part of a study, we allow that to happen. These two witnesses did request to participate.
Third, with respect to your motion, you have every opportunity to bring your motion up. As has been the tradition of this committee, you'll have that opportunity when your time comes with respect to having the floor.
