The Chair Liberal Bill Casey

We have a bit of committee business to do.

We have some budgets to talk about for the thalidomide study. Do I have a motion to approve $4,700 for witnesses and testimony?

(Motion agreed to)

Now we have the budget for Bill C-211, respecting a framework on post-traumatic stress disorder. We've proposed $10,100 for witnesses, travel, a video conference, and working meals.

(Motion agreed to)

We want to talk about the schedule. Two meetings are locked in. That's the thalidomide meetings for next week. The clerk has just reminded me that today is the last day for witness lists for Bill C-211. I'm proposing that we do Bill C-211 on the 16th and have witnesses. Then on the 18th, we'll do clause-by-clause. With everybody's agreement, the 16th and 18th will be on Bill C-211.

We're proposing consideration of M-47 for May 30 and June 1. Is that in order for everyone?

Mr. Oliver.

I thought we had agreed that we were doing one day on Bill C-211.

The Chair Liberal Bill Casey

We have one day for witnesses and one day for clause-by-clause. Also, on the same day we're going to do drafting instructions for thalidomide, so it's a day and a half for everything.

Are there any other questions? Do I have your approval for the agenda?

Perfect. That settles that.

Then we go into June. We still have antimicrobial resistance proposed for June 6 and 8. Do we want to lock that in?

All right. That's what we'll do. Those are locked in until June 8. That's as far as we're going to go right now

Mr. Davies.
