For the committee, we are distributing a sheet for future planning. As soon as it's in everybody's hands, we'll discuss the future agenda. We have to make a quick decision on what we want to do until the end of this study on childhood obesity.
You have before you a list of the names of 72 witnesses that were submitted. Some came directly to the clerk, but most of them actually came through your offices and then directly to the clerk. That's an awful lot, and I think it's going to be very difficult to hear those witnesses. I wouldn't even recommend that we hear all of them. But to try to make some sanity out of what we're doing in this study, we had decided to go to eight meetings. We have those laid out, and the three further meetings on October 17, 19, and 24. The witnesses are called for those.
But there are four areas we haven't heard from, if we're going to break it down into areas. We have to discern whether we want to cut it off where we are or if we want to hear from these other areas. These are health, first nations--the second meeting that we had talked about--infrastructure and built environment, you might say, and what the provinces are doing.
Before we get into any kind of discussion on that, I want to ask Nancy to comment on these four categories and what the researchers have come up with.
