Before I go to Mr. Fast, I don't want to get too far ahead on what we're doing and when we're doing it.
We're agreeing to start that one first. The clerk is going to need a date really quickly for the time frame for submission of a witness list, because next week is a constituency week, and we're back the week after. If we're starting something, that's when we'd probably like to start it, instead of continuing with committee business every day until we get to something.
Would it be the wish of the committee to invite the departmental officials first? We could get that out of the way. That would probably chew up most of the first meeting, I would think.
We could select a date for submission of other witnesses to be in by a certain date. Does anybody want to suggest a date?
Gord.
