I call the meeting back to order.
I'll remind committee members that we're dealing with committee business. We're in public.
I wanted to bring the committee up to date on where we are in terms of the schedule. First and foremost, we have lost a couple of days, May 5 and May 19, as a result of the motion that was passed.
I see your hand. I have Mr. Barrett first and then you second, Mr. Villemure.
We lost a couple of days, based on the motion that was passed in the House of Commons yesterday by unanimous consent.
For Tuesday, we have the final two witnesses who are coming in on access to information, and then we have the departments for the second hour. We are going to leave time for drafting instructions on Tuesday. We have gone full circle on that study, and I think there's enough—not just based on the interim report that we have received, but also subsequent to having the minister in, etc.—for the analysts to finalize that report and make recommendations to Parliament and the government.
The second thing is on Friday. As you recall, the committee passed a motion on Tuesday on the appointment of the Ethics Commissioner. My plan is to call the witnesses for next Friday. This will push off the foreign interference study for a bit.
That's the update I have.
Mr. Barrett, I saw your hand. Go ahead, please, and then we'll hear Mr. Villemure.
