Thank you, and welcome back.
Just before we move to the motions of Mr. McCallum, I would ask members to get out their pens and pieces of paper.
We discussed some alternative times for the committee to meet in regard to Air Canada issues, airport noise, and the maintenance contracts. Based on the information we've received, the dates available to do this would be Wednesday, December 1, from 3:30 to 4:30, and Tuesday, December 7, from 3:30 to 5:30. So with the committee's endorsement, I will send out the invitations and hope we can respond.
I know, Mr. Guimond, you have provided a couple of names that we'll contact as well, in regard to the noise issue.
I also want to advise the committee that the minister's office has reported back to me that the way his schedule is, he can offer to be here on Monday, December 6, from 3:30 to 4:30, for the supplementary estimates. Now I know that time didn't work for everybody when we sent the list out, but I would ask if you could respond back to Bonnie and advise us if you can or cannot make it, and then we'll advise the minister whether we have enough people, first for quorum and second for the minister.
Mr. Jean.
