Mr. Speaker, the minister has actually made himself available to committees for six and a half hours just in this last session of Parliament. He has another hour today, which will make it seven and a half hours. That is a significant amount of time. He has been at the transport committee a couple of times and at the government operations and estimates committee. He makes himself available all the time.
I do not know what my hon. colleague is talking about. The minister is available at request and he has never fudged on an opportunity to deal with committees.
