I believe witnesses have signed out.
I want to bring up an issue with regard to our upcoming meetings and requests for any witnesses on the salmon study. We did invite the minister to appear again at the committee in relation to this study. The clerk has informed me that the minister would be available only after the constituency week in May, which leaves time very tight after that.
I have two proposals that I'd like to put forward, and the committee can decide which one of them they want to go with, or neither one. It is up to the committee.
Number one would be that we hear from the minister before we begin drafting instructions, which would surely result in our inability to table a report on salmon before the end of the session. If we hear from the minister before the drafting instructions, we won't get this report tabled.
Otherwise, we can hear from the minister after the break week and proceed with the drafting instructions and setting a deadline for recommendations on the salmon study, as planned.
I see Mr. Bragdon. You have your hand up.
