Thank you, Madam Chair.
The suggestion to identify a certain number of meetings is really just an administrative exercise for me to know how many days I can play with when I'm looking at the witness list and trying to fit people in.
There's no need to formalize eight days. If the committee wants to expand on that eight days, that's fine. It just gives the clerk a starting point in terms of knowing which days I can schedule certain witnesses on if they're not available on one given day.
