Mr. Speaker, I respect the circumstance that the member has been caught in and I extend my condolences to the family.
Certainly, if the hon. member wishes a separate briefing, I will speak to the department and see if we cannot arrange that.
It is unfortunate that the briefing happened at this time. As all members are aware, there was a lot of effort put into making sure that our economic statement was complete and ready to present to the House, even though we were not able to present it in the House. That was probably part of the issue, but the department is doing its best to make sure that arrangements have been made for all hon. members who are involved or interested to have an appropriate briefing.
If the hon. member wishes to speak to me later today, we will see if we cannot arrange that.
