What would happen if we blocked another hour after the meeting on Thursday, just in case we need that full hour? This would give people time to get a substitute, if members can't come. At least we would have that hour, if we can get the room, and could just do it. This would give our witnesses time to appear, because they're making preparations, and then we'd have another hour, if we need that full hour, to deal with this bill.
