If we can't get unanimous consent to waive the 48 hours, can I just ask if it would be possible to have an emergency meeting during the two-week period that the House is not sitting so that we can deal with this?
The appointments issue has been very high-profile. Appointments continue to be made, and we have not had the opportunity to examine the work of the secretariat. In fact, some of us were surprised that the secretariat was even conducting work. I certainly wasn't aware of that.
So if we can't get unanimous consent to waive the notice, I'm wondering if we could agree to have an emergency meeting over the two-week hiatus when the House is not sitting.
