Launching special committees like this, or any committee at the beginning of a session, is always problematic in the sense that we're all planning ahead. We have an extremely important meeting with our leader, planned quite some time ago for tomorrow, to talk specifically about Bill C-32. His availability of course is much tighter than our own availabilities, which are quite tight.
Given the comments from the Bloc and from Mr. Angus as well, if the committee is amenable, we're ready to take off like a bat out of hell on Monday, and to be there Thursday morning, but tomorrow a bunch of things complicate our lives, because we did not know, coming into this today, where the slots were going to be. I'd ask for a little bit of--how shall I put it?--compassion on the part of the committee with respect to tomorrow's time slot.
Thank you.
