“Mr. Chair, before I begin, I would like to note that I will be speaking for 10 minutes and sharing the last five minutes with my friend, the incredible member for Montmorency—Charlevoix, who will conclude these remarks. My colleagues have been asking the minister questions for nearly three hours now, but unfortunately, we have not received any answers to our real questions. Minister, I will give you another chance. It has been three hours, so I understand that you are tired. That is just how the human body works. Mr. Chair, I am sure the minister is getting a little tired, so I will start off slowly. I would like to know whether the minister does his own grocery shopping.”
