We're replacing it with “to the role of external contracting”.

Mr. Chair, just before we reach a consensus, which seems likely, I really want to read the amendment in French. I don't know if it was sent.

I'm sending it right now. Let me know when you receive it, please.

Listen, we have one budget here. We could approve that while we're waiting. It's for up to $500 for the supplementary estimates (C).
Conservative
The Chair Conservative Kelly McCauley
Wonderful. Thank you for approving that.
I'll go over our schedule quickly, seeing as we're waiting.
On Thursday, we have the Treasury Board here for the supplementary estimates (C). Then we're away for two weeks, and then back on the 14th. I'm sorry; you already had this in your schedule. The 21st is open. That's when we're planning to have folks from the library, who were unavailable today. They'll be slotting in on the 21st.
The main estimates have come out. Depending on the outcome of this.... There's also another motion I saw—it hasn't been put forward—on buy Canada. I assume we'll fill in this, and then we'll have Public Works and the Treasury Board on the main estimates. We're probably fill in April and May between this and the main estimates, and we'll go forward from there. The library is the big one, and we'll see them on the 21st.
Mr. Patzer.

I have a quick question.
Now that we've seen Mr. Lightbound back in the House, do we know if he is going to make an appearance at this committee, as we were talking about before? Have you guys had any conversations with him about that?

I would encourage the committee chair and the clerk to reach out and schedule something.

Is this for the supplementaries or the mains?
Conservative
The Chair Conservative Kelly McCauley
I assume it's for the mains, because we've already...the supplementaries.

It has fewer meetings in French and more in English.

I'm sorry. That was a typo. It's still four meetings.

Mr. Chair, what's the procedure in terms of submitting a witness list and what's the deadline for the clerk to receive the information and plan everything?
Conservative
The Chair Conservative Kelly McCauley
Why don't we say, for witnesses, a week from this Wednesday, on the break period, by noon. It's not this Wednesday.
