Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I know that what's happened previously is that because of other meetings, etc., we've left witnesses waiting. Is there any way to suggest that after 15 minutes--we have scheduled meetings--we'd be able to hear witnesses, regardless of whether there's a member of the opposition or a member of the government present to hear testimony?
I'm not suggesting moving forward on motions or anything, but just to get the meeting started, out of respect for the witnesses we have coming in.
