Thank you for bringing that up. I'm sure we're not going to exhaust the clock, so let me deal with that. It's not a point of order, but it's a legitimate question. I was going to deal with it.
First of all, the committee decides what we do, not the steering committee. The steering committee makes recommendations. In fact, the steering committee did meet, and it has recommendations, which will be circulated.
The first item of business on Thursday will be the steering committee report. It will be up to the committee to decide whether it wishes to adopt that report, either as presented or as amended.
On the off chance that the committee will adopt that steering committee report, either as presented or as amended, we do have a confirmed witness—one so far—for Thursday. Mr. Jeff Esau is a freelance journalist, who sold his story to the Globe and Mail. He has made two access to information requests with respect to this matter.
Obviously he will be here so we don't lose the time. If we spend the entire meeting discussing the steering committee report, so be it. That's the decision of the committee. But he will be here in the event that the decision is relatively quick. If we don't get to him, he'll be available once the committee makes the final decision.
At the present time, the committee's decision is to proceed with identity theft. But because of the wording of “urgently consider”, I'm putting the steering committee's report as the number one item of business for Thursday morning at 9 a.m.
Does that answer your question?
