Thank you.
There have been multiple requests. We can bicker about the specifics, but at the end of the day, more interesting to me than the particular language is getting the ministers here. It's one thing to invite.... In my six years, I have seen many invitations to Liberal ministers go without their actually appearing.
The one thing for which I will give credit where credit is due is that every time a parliamentary secretary has committed to me that the minister will be there, they have shown up. It would go a long way if Mr. Kelloway would vouch for his ministers by saying that this isn't just an invitation, and he will actually get them here. These aren't people in far-off lands. They have offices next to ours whom Mr. Kelloway, I assume, would talk to as parliamentary secretary for transportation. I hope he would speak to Mr. MacKinnon daily. If he says Mr. MacKinnon can be here, I will take him at his word.
