No, but I had another suggestion. Because of the ninth meeting on the draft report, we have an open meeting now. We agreed on an agenda before. Unfortunately, we used up three meetings on Bill C-36. I believe it was healthy living that we had to move forward.

Perhaps we could decide together which aspects of the topic we wanted to study as a priority.
So we could have that discussion together on December 7.

Okay, so the agreement is that we'll be doing healthy living and looking at the scope on the ninth.

I move that you hold Mr. Carrie's motion in abeyance, and we agree to switch the meetings of the seventh and ninth around.

So we will have nine working days, instead of the seven. We have that on the table right now.
Is everyone in agreement with that?
