Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I don't support this amendment. Removing clause (a) would have the effect of not making these hearings a priority. I believe these hearings should be a priority. We've waited three long years to get these documents and to examine this matter, so I think it should be a priority.
Secondly, I don't support the amendment because I believe that we should be meeting twice a week. The House of Commons administration has indicated that there are the technical resources and human resources available to meet twice a week. That will allow us to examine this matter sufficiently before we adjourn at the end of June. If we only meet once a week, we're not going to have enough time to examine this matter.
I would like us to meet twice a week, which is what the motion proposes, as other parliamentary committees do, and I would like us to keep these hearings a priority of this committee. I don't support the amendment.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
