Thank you, Mr. Chair.
You made an argument in the past that you would like to move forward and so call in witnesses who would get the Rights and Democracy things moving forward. However, it is the desire of the committee to listen to people like Mrs. Trépanier and the others.
While we are going to say it is in the interest of working together and moving forward so that the other agendas can be done, I find it a little strange that at the last minute we have a G-8 request, which we have been doing since the last time and nobody was willing to do that. We would actually be required to follow Mr. Bernard Patry's motion over here to try to accommodate that on Thursday.
I'm not saying the G-8 is not important. I am just saying it is a little too short notice for us. The Minister of Foreign Affairs would be issuing statements and public press conferences on the G-8. I don't think the government is in a position to get something as quickly as Thursday. Nevertheless, it is an important issue.
If I'm not mistaken from Mr. Rae's suggestion, I understand we would meet on Rights and Democracy on Tuesday, March 30, then April 1, 13, 15, and 20. Is that what you are proposing at this stage?
