Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Picking up on your introduction, I'd like to understand why today is a business meeting. The importance of hearing from witnesses was repeated again and again, and I don't believe it's a partisan issue. Everybody around this table agreed that we needed to get down to work.
The reality is that fully one-third of our meetings, six out of 15 meetings, were dedicated to committee business rather than getting down to the work that we were tasked with as a committee, and I find that very disappointing. I understand that a work plan was circulated today. I received it from the clerks. It is dated from May of the last session.
What is the current state of play for witnesses being scheduled? Would it be possible for the clerks to explain exactly why there were no witnesses available for what was scheduled as a three-hour witness meeting today?
