The Chair Conservative Mike Wallace
Well, okay, 16. Maybe I miscounted by two but you have overlap with our Liberal friends.
We're waiting on some more from the Conservative side. So my guess at this point—and we're going to wait and see—is we may be able to do panels of four or five, and be done in four or five meetings.

The Chair Conservative Mike Wallace
Yes. Four to five meetings, and then maybe a meeting or two for clause-by-clause.
I'll have a better plan for you come the time.

I don't want to see myself saying “We're not hearing you” to a group we might not have thought of who contacts either side.

The Chair Conservative Mike Wallace
My suggestion is that if you have any other ideas before Thursday, it would be great. Then as we are doing the study, if there is a need to hear from other people, there will be a committee decision about that.

An hon. member
When we will get a new chair?

The Chair Conservative Mike Wallace
The next chair will be set when the NDP concurs in the item. Otherwise, you're stuck with me.
This meeting is adjourned.
