The motion calling on committee members to submit a list of topics and witnesses by Wednesday of last week was based on the fact that each party was supposed to put forward at least one topic and its witnesses. According to Mr. Maguire and Mr. Barlow, we have three meetings on COVID-19 and one on the PMPRB right now. Two parties have already stated that the vaccine issue was a priority in the lists they sent to the clerk. It could be the subject of a single meeting.
The Liberal Party decided that the study would focus on mental health. One meeting could be held on that topic. It seems to me that, in accordance with the rotation set out in the motion Mr. Davies put forward the other day, the Bloc Québécois should get one meeting for one of its topics. That way, everyone would get what they want. The committee would meet three times on COVID-19 in connection with each party's priorities.
I would like the committee to spend a meeting on the importance of health transfers, which the pandemic brought to the fore. That would be perfectly in line with the work plan Mr. Davies proposed last week. That would determine the topic for each of the three COVID-19 meetings, the fourth being set aside for the PMPRB. I imagine there would be consensus on that.
