Perhaps I may just clarify, with Mr. Valeriote's comments. The estimates that are before us have to be passed by May 29. If the minister does not show by then, they are deemed passed by the committee and off they go. That would be unfortunate for the committee if we didn't have an opportunity with the minister.
I leave that with you, Mr. Lemieux. If he can appear before that, it would be most helpful.
Would you like to respond to Mr. Valeriote?
