On the work plan, the challenge we have right now is really getting through the next couple of weeks. Everything stopped in December. We knew where we were going to stand on Friday. Next week we know where we're going to stand, pending the minister's schedule. It really is for the following week that I want to get down as having those two meetings on the Tuesday and Friday, because it helps the analysts and the clerk contact witnesses.
I will make a commitment to the committee that we will have a work plan set out. I'll sit down with the clerk and the analysts so that after those weeks we'll know what the schedule is going to be like and they'll know what the schedule is going to be like. That way, we can determine who is going to appear in front of the committee and determine the timelines based on the motions and how many meetings were scheduled for that. I will make that commitment to the committee.
Given that—I see you, Mr. Fergus—in the week following next week, if we've determined that we're going to deal with foreign interference on the Friday, I would like to invite the Information Commissioner to come before the committee on Tuesday afternoon to discuss the tabling of the ATIP report by the Treasury Board president. That would set us up for the next three weeks as far as where we're going with meetings. The work plan will be presented to the committee after that.
Mr. Fergus, I saw your hand. I just wanted to reiterate what my preference would be before you spoke. Please go ahead.
