However, I have met with her this year, so I am not quite sure what the honourable member is getting at: that, unless I have meetings every two weeks with every single stakeholder, I am being negligent in my duty? I would certainly hope that's not his suggestion because I do have regular meetings with the stakeholders and, as I have said, there are times when people seek to meet with you when it can be just solved with phone calls.</text>
