I'm not at all pleased with the change.
Many members plan their schedules from Monday to Thursday. On Thursday afternoon, they leave Ottawa to return to their respective ridings. I would have preferred to see you opt for Tuesday or some other morning, rather than for Thursday afternoon. In a pinch, I would even prefer Wednesday evening. If we meet on Thursday afternoon, our riding schedules that have been set for the entire session will be disrupted. It's always possible to make some adjustments while we are here. Members are present from Monday to Thursday, or from Tuesday to Friday. To hold a meeting on Thursday afternoon would disrupt our planned schedule for the session.
