Mr. Chair, is there any way to ask the witnesses to appear in person?

The Chair Liberal Francis Scarpaleggia

I don't know if we can actually summons them to appear in person. I don't think they will, to be honest with you. They will be virtual. I don't think we can force them to appear in person, honestly.

As our chair, would you mind encouraging them to attend in person?

At the last meeting, we asked parties to submit a list of co-operatives they would like to hear from in the context of this study on finance. Please send to the clerk by May 14 the names of any co-operatives you would like to potentially invite. That would give us enough time.

I also want to confirm that you agree to have the bank CEOs for two hours. The motion to summons them, I think, is having its impact.

Since there are five CEOs, it will take us at least two hours to question them properly.

Are we good?

All right.

Have a good weekend, everyone. See you again in about 10 days. Thank you.

The meeting is adjourned.
