Madam Chair, I don't know how recent the information from our clerk is. For my part, the information I've received in the last hour indicates that the time slots available in the next week have already been booked by other committees. In particular, I understand that the Standing Committee on Finance will be sitting all of next week.
So it seems that it is impossible to reserve five-hour time slots next week, but I would like to validate that information so that we do not go down either road without the most up‑to‑date information. I understand that the available time slots are going quickly and may already be gone.
