Mr. Speaker, I have not had the opportunity yet to sit in on a transport committee meeting, so I cannot speak for what is happening there except to say that there does seem to be a pattern here spanning multiple committees. I understand the citizenship and immigration committee has no meetings scheduled for this week. At the environment and sustainable development committee, the minister has not appeared. I mentioned the lack of appearance by the justice minister at the justice committee on his mandate and priorities. The minister has not appeared for fisheries and oceans.
There does seem to be a trend here. I think it is very important that we are discussing the motion we are right now before the House, because the Liberal government cannot point fingers regarding its agenda not being passed when it holds the keys and the decision-making authority on when to schedule committee meetings.
