Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I've consulted with several members of the committee in just the last couple of hours and I believe there's a consensus. I'm asking if we could change the plan for the May 16 committee meeting. Currently, you've proposed that we spend two hours issuing drafting instructions. What I think there's a consensus to do is to have two 45-minute panels with the witnesses who were to have appeared but were cancelled because of all of the rescheduling with the ministers that has taken place recently, and then to have half an hour for drafting instructions. Alternatively, if the clerk can so confirm, we could have two 60-minute panels with witnesses who were previously scheduled but had to be cancelled because of ministerial rescheduling, and have an additional half hour for drafting instructions.
We either have a two-hour meeting with two 45-minute panels and 30 minutes for drafting instructions, or we alternatively have two 60-minute panels with a 30-minute period for drafting instructions for two and a half hours.
