Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
I just want to make sure I'm understanding the position of everyone at the committee, because the will of the committee is how we will move forward.
I see two options. One option is that we continue to work on the draft report in parallel, waiting while more documentation is submitted to the committee, with the understanding that more documents will come over the summer. Very likely we'll start meeting again in September to go through additional requests, documents and so on, with the goal of hopefully submitting a report before the end of the year. The other option is for the committee not to meet and to wait for all these documents, at which point I'm not sure if we will be submitting a report.
I just want to make sure I understand this. We have six House sitting weeks before the House rises. We have competing requests from committees to use the time. Many, many committees will be reporting back on other studies they're doing. I would not want, and I don't think anyone here would want, for us to be meeting on a weekly basis to reiterate what we've been saying for the last couple of months.
I'd like to get an understanding of the will of the committee. Do we suspend and come back in September when we have more documentation, or do we work on the report in parallel, between now and the end of the session? I just want to make sure I understand where everyone is, because I don't want to waste anyone's time. The work you've done here is incredibly important, but it's about the will of the committee. We need to know what the will of the committee is.
