I'll answer that. First of all, we haven't scheduled any meetings of this committee, since we're just having an organizational meeting.
Secondly, what I'd suggest we do is you and I sit down, as chairs of the two committees, and discuss the issue, get some advice from the whips, get some advice from some procedural people, and see if we can't come to a reasonable accommodation that doesn't require a ruling.
My initial reaction would be that the words “at the same time”, given the following subparagraphs, which talk about time, indicate physical 24-hour calendar time. But I don't need to make a ruling on that, and I think it's best if the two chairs see if we can make some accommodation. It makes total sense for us not to be sitting at the same time as the committee on Bill C-2 because we'll lose two of our most valuable members, particularly a former acting chair, who has experience on this particular committee and the issues surrounding it, and Mr. Martin likewise. So I would do everything I could to make an appropriate accommodation. And I know that most members don't like to sit on Thursday afternoon anyway, for a variety of reasons, so we'll see what we can do.
Yes?
