We have passed that, and I think Ms. McLeod mentioned an important consideration, that when we get back after the summer we should really look at what we have to do, look at the lineup of things and how we redistribute them based on timeliness, priority, and there may or may not be new things that pop up that would require to be dealt with in a timely manner.
I want to have you look at the committee's tentative schedule. Because of the fact that there are many votes happening, we have decided that it would be easier if we left our travel to a Thursday and a Friday. We've shifted where we're going.
As you can see if you look at the pages you were given, on June 7, which is today, we have what we're doing.
On June 9, we have a teleconference with the Labrador witnesses. These were aboriginal women in Goose Bay and in Happy Valley who were not able to come down, for various reasons, to meet with us in the Labrador City meeting, so we're going to do a one-hour teleconference with them. Then we have one hour of committee business, which I think should finish up our maternal health report and put that to bed.
On June 10, which would be the Thursday, we will be travelling to Montreal. We will go by bus. We will leave Montreal and go to Quebec City, where we will stay on Thursday night, and on Friday we will be doing Quebec City. What you see here is June 10 and 11.
Then we come back, and on Monday, June 14, we will look at the draft report on maternal and child health. Hopefully we have put that away and will be able to look at non-traditional occupations. We might be even be able to do some of that this Wednesday, but let's take it as we see it. We will do that on Monday, the 14th, and on Wednesday, the 16th.
Then, on June 17, we will travel to Maniwaki, and on June 18 we will travel to Brantford.
June 21, when we come back, which would be the Monday, we will study the draft report on women in non-traditional occupations and we'll be continuing that report writing. We need to put that report to bed on that Monday, because if the House rises that week, I have to table the report in the House, so it is best that we have Tuesday to table it, just in case.
Then we have a little bit of time and we need to sit down and start to talk about the travel that everyone says they'd love us to do in the summer. We need to decide when in the summer we will do it, and then we need to decide what we're going to be doing. The clerk, the analyst, and the logistics people have been working with me on this to package it in a way that, if you recall, as we said, in order to bring down costs, when we go to the west, the western people will do the west; the eastern people will do the east; the Ontario people will do Ontario, etc. That way, we don't have a bunch of people travelling all the way across the country.
We have no choice in the case of Ms. Mathyssen, because she lives in Ontario. To come to the west, she will have to hitchhike across there by boat or bus or something. We're not letting her fly.
Of course, Madame Demers or Mr. Desnoyers, or whichever one from the Bloc, will still have to come to represent their party back east, but if we can get the bulk of people coming from where their region is, that would help us a lot.
We had a little glitch with the plans we made to go to Resolute Bay, which is a tiny community, so tiny that people did not want to come and let anybody know that they talked to the committee, because it was very sensitive. So we've taken Resolute Bay out of the mix and we're looking at whether we need to throw in Rankin Inlet instead, which is a much larger community, and we heard reference to it when we were in Iqaluit. We may talk about rolling that into our summer travel as one leg of one of the two pieces that we're looking to do in the summer. Hopefully they would be concurrent. People can just fan out and take a few days and do what they have to do.
Madame Demers.
