It is a priority. He is a very busy man, though, he has lots on, and I have been detained, as my duty requires, in this chamber for a great deal of time. As soon as our diaries can be brought into a moment of coincidence, this will be certainly a priority for me, and I hope it will be a priority for the minister, because I would look forward to it.</text>
