Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I appreciate the good discussion on this. December 19 is fine with the government. We'll all have our list of witnesses. As Ms. Redman pointed out, as we each prepare a list of potential witnesses, only a percentage of those will be available.
Also it depends on the topic that the witnesses are going to want to speak on. At the CEPA review, we as a committee created the list of topics, the agenda. On the last topic before the round table, only one witness wanted to speak to it, so they're going to be picking what they would like to come and speak on.
I would also hope we would consider not having a single witness at multiple meetings, that we would hear from them one time and not multiple times. There may be an argument for them to be at more than one, but I think the norm would be that they would be picking a meeting that they could be witnessing at.
So I think we'll be fine. We'll be providing the clerk with a list of witnesses and a suggested agenda, and we can discuss them fully on January 29, at our first meeting.
