I called the meeting for committee business today. We have an outstanding motion that I know some members of the committee wish to have an opportunity to continue. We will proceed with that. If there are other motions, of course, this would be an opportunity to entertain them.
If the committee deals with and disposes of Mr. Villemure's motion, then I will report back on the outcome, from the committee point of view, on witnesses, pursuant to the last motion we adopted.
I will also point out that a work schedule or work plan was distributed to committee members this morning. If we get to it, I would maybe have an opportunity to hear comments from members about just how we proceed in terms of numbers of meetings. I don't want to get into discussing individual witness claims in public at this meeting, but if members desire it, we could move in camera to discuss individual witnesses.
So I think we have a few things we can go on today. We have the minister scheduled to appear on Thursday. I wanted to use this meeting to deal with some of the committee business that we already have in front of us.
If you have no further comments on that, I'll go to Mr. Fergus.
