Do we have other discussion on that?

I'm just looking at the 27th. We have seven witnesses confirmed?

7:10 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Laurie Hawn

No. The Canadian Nuclear Association is off. I'll talk about that when we're done.

7:15 p.m.

Liberal

But it's linked to this question of—

7:15 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Laurie Hawn

Well, Vicki Arroyo has confirmed that she can come on the 27th. She is the one who has the mother with the health problem. She has to leave at 5 o'clock, so we may have to ask each witness to speak for a shorter period of time. We won't give them 10 minutes.

The Canadian Nuclear Association should be off.

7:15 p.m.

Liberal

David McGuinty Liberal Ottawa South, ON

So we'll have six witnesses.

7:15 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Laurie Hawn

It's because Ms. Arroyo's situation allowed her to come on that day. The consensus, as I recall, was that this was a fairly important organization to hear from.

Anyway, we can deal with that at that meeting by shortening up the witness statements. That would be my suggestion.

So are we back to calling the question on this?

Again, the motion is:

That the witnesses scheduled to be heard on Thursday, March 1, 2007 be heard from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. on Monday, February 26, 2007.

(Motion negatived)

7:15 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Laurie Hawn

The motion is defeated, so we'll stay with the schedule as laid out.

If there is no other business, we'll see you all tomorrow morning.

This meeting is adjourned.
