Yesterday when the Minister was questioned about why this was the first time Regular Members had heard of this new advisory panel, the Minister responded that he was advising us right here in this House. That’s where we heard it. You heard it here first. We never heard of it before.
I’d like to ask the Minister how long this plan has been in the works and if he doesn’t believe it would’ve been appropriate to bring this to the Standing Committee on Economic Development and Infrastructure, since it is a panel — a Ministers’ panel — on the economy.
