Thank you, Chair.
This amendment really makes sure to build on Mr. Chong's point that this issue is a priority and that we need to deal with this issue as quickly as possible. To stay with the regular schedule of this committee, which is a three-hour meeting per week, we have just all agreed that there will be at least two meetings to study this matter. That's six hours. We're of the view that this is sufficient time to go through all of the witnesses who are listed in the motion, and that will allow the committee members ample to time to appropriately review the depth and scope of this matter.
Given everyone's schedules, given the resources of the House of Commons and given the fairly generous schedule that this committee has of three hours per week of meetings, having four hours of meetings per week is unnecessary.
Again, it's coming from the spirit of ensuring that this matter is dealt with as quickly as possible and that there's as much transparency as possible. That's the stated purpose for which Mr. Chong brought this motion. This amendment makes sure that we continue with our regularly scheduled time, which fits in everybody's schedule for members of this committee, and deal with this matter over the next two meetings expeditiously.
