The Chair Liberal Francis Scarpaleggia

Thank you so much. That's all I really wanted to know.

This has been a fascinating discussion. We've gathered a lot of fodder for a report.

Thank you, Madame Pauzé. This brings us to the conclusion.

We will have Mr. Edwards back, for sure, and we'll be working with him on the technology.

Ms. Pauzé, did you have something to raise?

Monique Pauzé Bloc Repentigny, QC

Yes, Mr. Chair.

First, I'd like to know when we'll find out which witnesses we'll be hearing from at the next meeting. I know some people are waiting for an invitation.

Second, I'm wondering whether we will be hearing from one panel during the first hour and another panel during the second hour.

12:55 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Francis Scarpaleggia

I'll be setting up a steering committee meeting, and we can discuss the witness list at that point.

We contacted a lot of people to have five witnesses here today. The proposed witness lists were received, and we are working on it.

As for your question about the panels, we'll be proceeding the same way we did for the plastics study. The witnesses will be with us for two hours, so we'll be doing a number of rounds.

12:55 p.m.

Will the steering committee be discussing that?

Yes, it's possible. We can discuss it all.

Go ahead, Mr. Longfield.

It might be helpful for the clerk to give us a work plan.

Thank you to the witnesses and thank you to the members for your excellent questions.
