Thank you, Mr. Chair.
What we have planned at the moment is that on Wednesday, March 10, the President of the Treasury Board will appear before the committee to discuss the supplementary estimates (C) and the departmental plans as well.
For our next sitting on March 22, the chair has, as part of the committee's study on the government response to the COVID-19 pandemic, instructed me to invite members of the Public Health Agency of Canada and PSPC senior officials to discuss the national emergency strategic stockpile.
The Minister of Public Services and Procurement has agreed to appear before the committee on March 24. As I explained at a previous meeting, the order of reference will have lapsed to study the supplementary estimates, however, the committee can still hear from the minister on a subject matter study, if it wishes.
The next meeting will be in the week of April 12. There had been some discussion with the chair about the possibility of taking up the Nuctech report at that time as we anticipate that report will be distributed to the committee members in early April. We hope to make sure that the committee members have at least a week to review it before the consideration begins.
As part of the committee's study on the government response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Minister of PSPC has agreed to appear to discuss the issues related to that on Wednesday, April 14. I raised this issue with the chair, who was planning to raise it with the committee today.
That is all the information I have currently, Mr. Chair.
