Thank you, Mr. Chair.
As my colleague from the NDP mentioned, it's a lot to unpack, but I have a couple of things to raise.
First, on determining whether or not we are going to keep going forward with half of every meeting on COVID, I don't think we have to make that decision today, because I think that in a couple of weeks when we come back.... We don't know exactly what COVID is going to look like. It could be continuing to rise or it could be a little better, so why don't we make that decision in a couple of weeks when we come back?
I also agree with Mr. Davies that he hasn't had a chance to put anything forward yet, so I would like to hear an idea. We can discuss the order later. I think Mr. Lake's recommendation of putting this on the agenda is a good one and is valid, and it doesn't necessarily mean, if I am correct, Mr. Lake, that we study it next. It just means that we're going to, and I agree that it warrants study.
Also, for those members who weren't present, the child health study was one that we all agreed on, but it was from MP Berthold, and MP Davies is correct that it's a Conservative one, but I think it's one that we all would like to do. On child health, we all agree, and we'd like to get to it, and I agree that we don't have to necessarily.... I've been finding it a bit confusing sometimes to toggle between COVID and non-COVID when oftentimes the non-COVID ones.... COVID is a forever thing and we're always going to talk about COVID, so we might as well just have fewer topical meetings.
On that, Mr. Lake asked that I just move an amendment on the 988 number to make it two meetings rather than three.
For clarity, to my colleague from the NDP, that doesn't mean we're going to do it before your idea. I hear you loud and clear that you haven't had a chance to put anything on the agenda yet and we're all eager to hear what that might be.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
