Thank you, Madam Chair.
I'd like to propose an amendment to the motion to change two hours to one, and to delete everything after the comma. That would be something that the Liberal side would be able to support. The rationale for it is this.
First, the supplementary estimates (A) are going to be approved by the House of Commons tonight, so there's no urgency.
Second, the amount in the supplementary estimates with respect to Veterans Affairs is less than $2 million, which is relatively minor when looking at the full amount in the supplementary estimates and the full budget of Veterans Affairs.
Third, a timeline of nine days for the minister is not something that she can do, and she would be able to make time to speak to this before the committee in the fall.
For all those reasons, I propose that amendment to the motion, and if that's agreeable to everyone, then we can support it.
