Striking “at its earliest convenience” means that we may not hear from them until sometime after June.
Listen, if people want to hear from the Canada Council--and that's what they're saying--then people know that this is something I've been working on for weeks. This is not something new. I would propose we schedule an additional meeting at the earliest possible convenience. If they can be here Wednesday, Thursday, tomorrow, fine. Let's call them and find out when they can be here. Let's schedule a meeting at the earliest possible convenience and let's get them in here.
What have we to fear with the Canada Council's appearing? Let's have them here and let's hear what they have to say. I'd like to hear from them on their support for international promotion and touring. I'd like to talk to them a little bit about what they're doing everywhere else and what they're doing with the additional money they've been provided.
