Mr. Speaker, I will split my time three ways. Fair Price Pharma is a company that got 15 kilograms of imported heroin licensed by Health Canada at some point. Has the minister met with the CEO, Perry Kendall?

Mr. Speaker, this is an Order Paper question for the government, so either the government is not being forthwith with the House or the minister has no idea what is going on in her office. Has anybody from her ministry met with any representatives from Fair Price Pharma? I do not know how long we will have to do this for.
