The reason we had to split this up is we have to do some planning so that we know who to invite for next Monday. We need lead time to do that.
We have two studies we have to plan for. Certainly we have the other meetings of the PMPRB and we have meetings for the first part of the COVID-19 study.
Also, since we had originally planned to bring the law clerk in on the first meeting of the COVID-19 study, and we don't even have that organized and ready to go, we have an opportunity to bring the law clerk in on Friday for an hour. The current plan is that we bring the law clerk in for an hour on Friday and we will have the Patented Medicine Prices Review Board back for another hour on Friday. That's the current plan.
Could we agree on how to proceed with the PMPRB study? Before we rise for the Christmas break—not counting today, which is used up, and not counting Friday, which is also allocated—we have four more meetings to deal with. It would be good if we could get those meetings squared away so we know whom to invite and when so that we can have the clerk issue the invitations and make sure they have their headsets and make sure the technical issues are resolved.
Let us start with the Patented Medicine Prices Review Board.
