Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Given that we're well into this meeting and we're on the second motion of 14, I wonder whether there might be some way to short-circuit this by talking broadly about the principles that we're trying to achieve here. I think there are very minor areas of disagreement around the definition of the timeline in particular. What we've heard is a desire to have the timeline at “the earliest convenience” and a desire to have it definitively in the first week of February.
Could we strike some sort of compromise and have the timeline set for the end of February? That would both give the minister a bit more time and give more time for the supplementary estimates (C) to be tabled. It wouldn't rush things and put any undue constraints on the minister's schedule.
I'll look to you, Mr. Chair, on this. If we could achieve agreement on the timing, then we would have the whole thing and we could somehow clear the decks to put forward a clearly worded amendment and get this done.
