If we organize it, then, we're all down there, we go, and we get it done with.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

Okay, I will talk to the whip and get that sorted, and if you're okay to go on the 16th, 17th, 18th and into the next week....

You're okay to do that?

1:40 p.m.

Conservative

Jim Eglinski Conservative Yellowhead, AB

I think I'm okay.

1:40 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

The rest of us are probably okay to do it.

We're going the 16th, 17th, 18th...so it will be Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and then into that first week that we're back.

Okay?

1:40 p.m.

Liberal

John Aldag Liberal Cloverdale—Langley City, BC

For...?

1:40 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

For a trip. If we can work it all in together, we will; if not, we'll have to try to split up for two.

We need two things before we all run to the House. We have to go back to the witnesses.

We now are pretty sure that we're going to be doing a trip, travelling. Given that, and given that we may get a chance to do Jasper and that, who do we need to hear from?

We had West Coast Environmental Law, we had Pacific Salmon Foundation, we had Stewart Elgie. We'd likely try to wrap the town of Jasper in, with a visit to them. All right?

1:40 p.m.

Liberal

John Aldag Liberal Cloverdale—Langley City, BC

Yes.

Nathan Cullen NDP Skeena—Bulkley Valley, BC

I put the green budget in there, just as a paying mechanism, and how do the finances work on it. The green budget is just many...you get one shot, and you get everybody's opinion.

1:40 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

They're submitting a brief to us. We need to decide who we...?

1:40 p.m.

Liberal

William Amos Liberal Pontiac, QC

Why don't we pick one each and go for it?

1:40 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

No, because we only have one spot. We have just moved four over to the 17th. We only have one spot, so who do we offer it up to? Let's have two because one might say no.

Do you want to try West Coast Environmental Law or the Pacific Salmon Foundation?

1:40 p.m.

An hon. member

Those would be my thoughts.

1:40 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Deb Schulte

West Coast? Pacific Salmon?

Where are you, John?

I've had some good dealings with the Pacific Salmon group, if we're looking at marine.
