Mr. Chairman, I appreciate that Mr. Kotto has offered to postpone his fourth motion, and I will have some other comments when we get to that matter. I know that you do not have unanimous consent to deal with the motion I put forward today about inviting representatives from the Court Challenges Program.
Our witnesses have already been invited and have confirmed that they will be here. Can we agree to meet on Wednesday afternoon, whether or not Parliament is sitting?

Has anybody else anything to say on that?
Personally, I don't have a problem because they are already coming, and we held our last meeting in the last session after the House was recessed. So I see no reason why we can't for this particular thing.

Mr. Chairman, I am going to give the clerk a copy of the policy on conflicts of interest for the Court Challenges Program and a copy of the commitment that all participants must sign. I would ask the clerk to distribute these documents to committee members. I think it would be useful for all members to take a look at these documents in preparation for a possible appearance before the committee by people representing this program.
Thank you.
