I just want to point out that when the steering committee met, we had a little trouble making decisions because we were missing two members, from the Liberals and the NDP. So the steering committee really did not make any decisions. We had discussions, but we agreed that we had to redo the meeting.
I intend to find a method that takes into account the timeline and the fact that the Liberals are going to put forward a motion on this issue. I am interested in hearing from the witnesses here today, but also from the minister. Could we agree to devote the first hour of Thursday's meeting to the minister and to related or other discussions? The second hour would be to make a decision on the Notice of Motion, or the motion, that may be moved by the Liberals today.
Remember that October 19 is the deadline. Since we will be on break next week, it would be a good idea to take the time to hear from people, especially the minister. We also have to leave enough time to consider the motion carefully and ensure that this is done properly. I think we should spend the first hour of Thursday's meeting hearing from the minister's witnesses and the second hour, debating the motion.
