While I have the floor, though, Mr. Chair, I have a bit of a question for you. It has to do with your last comment.
I know it's very difficult right now to figure out where we're going, because we don't know the outcome of the vote tonight. I believe there is a time requirement in the motion tonight to commence the study of COVID, which, if it passes tonight, I believe would probably require us to commence the study a week from today. I also think the motion of my colleague Ms. Rempel Garner to study the supplementary estimates and have the minister appear is also extremely valuable. She is quite right that we have not heard from the minister in quite a long time. I think a lot of committee members have a lot of questions to ask her.
My question is around the fact that you said we don't have a meeting scheduled. According to the rules, any four members of this committee could put in a motion at any time and require a meeting within 48 hours. It's in either Standing Order 106 or Standing Order 108, if I'm not mistaken. The fact that we don't have a scheduled meeting this week doesn't mean we could not schedule a meeting this week if we wanted to. I just wanted to clarify that. There may be reasons for or against this with my colleagues—Ms. Sidhu may have some reasons she wants to have more time, and I respect that—but I want to be clear that if we do pass a motion today to hear from the minister on the supplementary estimates no later than this Friday, we absolutely can do that, because the rules allow for it.
I just wanted you to clarify that.
