Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I appreciate my colleague compromising on this issue and trying to find an accommodation. On April 10 we won't be here, obviously. We won't be sitting as a House and we won't be here in committee. I'm wondering if my colleague would entertain the possibility of simply allowing us to have a meeting as a committee on the Monday we come back, which would be April 17. At that point, we will see what the status is of our ultimate request and then make that decision.
It just allows us to get information and to see what the final situation is. I don't feel comfortable if we're making this decision that a trigger point happens when we're not sitting and we are not aware of what the status is of that request.
Would my colleague accept the fact that we would simply make that decision on April 17? I think you would get unanimous support behind that motion. Again, it underscores just how serious this issue really is.
