I call to order meeting 29 of the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage.
Today we do have some witnesses here, but prior to entertaining the witnesses, I've been requested by Mr. Bélanger that we might do just a little committee business first and deal with his motion from December 11 that representatives of the court challenges program be invited to appear before the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage.
Before we deal with that, there's also been another request from an individual just today to come before this committee. I was wondering if it could be done on the same day. That would be about the only way we could handle this other request. I'm just looking for some direction on this.
