Thank you, Mr. Chair.
To your comments, Mr. Chair, I was not aware of the update. If I had known that that was the update we were providing, I would have probably travelled with a different approach. Next time, if you have any insights as to what you would like to discuss, I would welcome that information.
Mr. Bonin, the way the motion reads is “not greater than”, so 10 meetings would be the maximum. I am more than fine with fewer meetings. I haven't talked to my colleagues, but if we can be efficient in the use of our time in having witnesses appear, then we can at least get to some of the work we need to do. Even when it comes to the draft reports that we need to review and submit, we might want to get some of that stuff presented and possibly have some action on it.
I welcome having a lot fewer than 10 meetings. I just want to get work done. That's why I'm here.
