Thanks very much. I can speak to both, Chair.
I want to just say that the issues identified in the report are touching Canadians. These are important issues; there's no question about that.
The proposals made by Mr. Blaikie and Mr. Beech on the dates are very reasonable. Mr. Poilievre has accepted those as friendly amendments. The suggestion that Mr. Beech made around a deadline for a list of witnesses is a good procedural addition to help ensure that we get the witnesses in, but in time to maximize the chances that we can hear from them within the schedule.
As we all know, this committee typically has a tremendous amount of important business that is brought to its attention. If we were able to set aside.... To me, 10 meetings is a reasonable number of meetings. The committee has the ability to add meetings if needed, depending on the extent of testimony, from whom we hear, what we hear about, etc. I would propose that a 10-meeting initial plan is reasonable.
Those are my thoughts, Mr. Chair.
