I understand that ministers have challenging schedules, but my experience has been that every time a minister has given testimony, we have indeed had it televised. I think that is very important, particularly in the case of veterans. They don't have access to this place, and they need to see the minister. They need to have that opportunity. So I would underscore that it is very important that the minister's appearance always be televised.
