What is the minister's role in this file?

Mr. Chair, why not allow us to ask questions at the transport committee here in Canada?

Mr. Chair, as a lot of people have done tonight, I would like to wish a happy birthday to the minister. After seeing her performance at the press gallery dinner, I will not sing her Happy Birthday, but I do wish her happy birthday for what is left of it.
