Okay.
Then we'll have the municipalities and provinces, because we are hearing from—

What day would you propose to have municipalities and provinces?

These are the four I'm thinking about: workers, students and unemployed; hospitality industry; owner-operators; and municipalities and provinces. We'll have to leave the catch-up until the following week.

Is there a way that we could include at least one representative from the hospitality sector, beyond restaurants?

We'll figure out the order, but it's the hospitality industry; municipalities and provinces; workers, students and the unemployed; and owner-operators, which is fairly broad.
Are we okay on that?
Liberal

Then the next week we'll have to put a session in for those who are falling through the cracks. I know that the food processors, big and small, are really starting to worry. You have the Cargill plant in Alberta. You have a hog plant in Quebec that was shut down. You have Tyson, which slaughters 10,000 hogs a day in the United States, shut down. That's affecting our ability to ship as well. The next week we'll bring in the ones that fall through the cracks.
I'll get that out to people. Keep in mind that it's the hospitality industry; owner-operators; municipalities, provinces and territories; and workers, students and the unemployed. That's the list. We need your prioritized list on each of those by Sunday night at six o'clock.
With that, thank you to all. Have a wonderful weekend. It's been good seeing you the last couple of days.
The meeting is adjourned.
