Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to reiterate what I said at the subcommittee meeting, so that all committee members know. It's important to move forward with our study on social media. We mentioned four meetings. I think that was pretty clear at the subcommittee meeting, but I want to make sure that other members of the committee know that this is a priority. I hope we focus on the social media study for the next four meetings, which are on November 20, 22, 27, and 29, if I'm not mistaken.
The report also mentions a whistleblower who would like to testify before the committee about SDTC, but nothing has been confirmed yet. So we could already assume that the social media study will take priority.

Thank you, Madame Fortier.
Again, with the discussion we had, if that meeting does happen, we have very specific direction from the subcommittee on when that meeting would occur, what week it would occur, and that it would only involve one meeting. We're still in the process of determining whether that meeting will in fact happen, but I'll certainly advise committee members well in advance, through the clerk, what the status of that meeting is as we come back.
Mr. Villemure, the floor is yours.

Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I agree with Ms. Fortier. As for the whistleblower, I understand that there are time constraints, but it isn't urgent. However, Ms. Khalid requested the social media study a very long time ago. It's a relevant study, and I think we should, as much as possible, have the meetings at those dates.

Thank you, Mr. Villemure.
We're going to try to accommodate the whistle-blower. If that doesn't work out, then the 20th, 22nd, 27th and 29th will be the TikTok study.
Is the committee in favour of adopting the subcommittee report?

That's unanimous, Madam Clerk. Let the record reflect that.
I don't have any other business.
Thank you, everyone, for a wonderful day.
The meeting is adjourned.
