I call the meeting back to order. The health committee is now meeting in public and in a hybrid format pursuant to the House order of November 25, 2021.
Please don't take screenshots of your screen. The proceedings will be made available on the House of Commons website. Please observe all public health protocols.
Colleagues, we are in committee business. There are three things that I hope we will be able to accomplish aside from anything else you may wish to raise. Perhaps I could just tell you what they are. If we could dispense with them right away, that's fine, if that's the will of the committee.
First, we need to set a deadline for witness lists for both the COVID and the health workforce studies. The clerk has suggested five o'clock this Thursday. That way invites can go out on Friday for witnesses to appear after the constituency week.
Second, around three o'clock eastern time, you would have all received some study budgets. It mostly hits at some shipping for the two studies. If we could dispense with the study budgets, that would be appreciated.
Third, perhaps we could also basically agree on the order of studies after the constituency week in terms of which day is COVID, which day is the health study.
Those are three housekeeping matters. As we are in committee business, now is the time to raise anything else you wish.
I recognize Dr. Powlowski.
