Thank you, Madam Chair.
Based on what we've just heard in the last few minutes, I have the impression that my Conservative colleagues won't agree to withdraw the invitation to the Minister of Canadian Heritage from their amendment. The part of the motion that I agree with is the part that seeks to specify a deadline for the appearance. If there is an opening, I would be tempted to suggest that we split the difference by inviting the CEO of CBC/Radio‑Canada to appear at the first meeting scheduled after we return from our constituency weeks.
I have nothing against the committee sitting during those weeks, Madam Chair. It's not a problem for me at all, but I think it should be reserved for situations of a certain urgency. However, I don't believe that there is any danger at stake in the coming weeks. This is something that could very well be discussed when we come back in three weeks, it will still be topical, and it will be the same answers or non‑answers that we're going to get from Ms. Tait. I think we can set a deadline so that it can be done quickly, but I don't see a national emergency requiring us to convene this parliamentary committee for weeks when we're in our ridings, especially since I would bet my last shirt that Ms. Tait will find a reason to tell us that she's not available for a while.
So we could start by setting the date of April 11, which is the first meeting scheduled after we return from the constituency weeks. If everyone agrees, we could move a subamendment or reject the amendment on the table and move another one to add that to the motion. Then we'd be on the right track.
