Thank you again, Chair.
I have no problem with that. There's a limited amount of time, so we're talking about Tuesday of next week. That gives them a few days to make appropriate plans. Hopefully Madam Donnelly and Mr. Bramley would both be available; I'm optimistic.
So I'm totally fine with that, but I would like to make one addition to that first meeting. The proposal is for an introduction of Bill C-377, and then hearing from the NDP leader, Mr. Layton, and then those other two witnesses. What's being proposed here is the first hour for Mr. Layton and then the second hour for the other two witnesses.
In terms of the purpose and the topic of that meeting, I'm hoping that some of the very important points are going to get covered in that meeting. What I would like to see addressed in that is target-setting, as in how the targets of the bill were set. And that's the heart of the bill, these targets. Our being able to support or not support the bill is dependent on the science of those. Where did the targets in the bill come from? How were those targets set? And what was the analysis used to propose those targets? I think those are very important points.
So if we let the witnesses know that this is what we're going to be asking, then they'll be ready to answer those types of questions.
