An hon. member

We would need a maximum of 15 to 20 minutes at Thursday's meeting.

5:50 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Ken McDonald

Okay.

We'll make 15 to 20 minutes maximum available at Thursday's meeting. That will give people time to get their thoughts together between now and then. They can be prepared and good to go.

I want to say thank you to the clerk and our analysts again today, and thank you to the translators.

I want to recognize somebody who's here with me every week, and that's my staff person Liam O'Brien. He just got accepted to do his Ph.D. at Carleton.

Caroline Desbiens Bloc Beauport—Côte-de-Beaupré—Île d’Orléans—Charlevoix, QC

I just want to make sure we don't cut into our witnesses' time next Thursday.

I'm talking about the time set aside to discuss this. I wouldn't want it to interfere with the shrimpers' testimony next week or that of our colleagues' witnesses.

We could do like we did today and just—

5:50 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Ken McDonald

We would have to add time to do that. Today it was possible for us to add almost half an hour. We'll be able to look at that Thursday in terms of what's on the agenda, and if we can add time, we will. That will be Mr. Arnold's decision in the chair.

5:50 p.m.

I'm watching you, Mr. Arnold.

Thank you.

All right. Done.

Thank you, everyone.
