Members will also remember that it's the whips who get together to decide on a certain rotational block system, whereby certain committees are supposed to meet at certain times. For example, in the slot from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays, the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs is one of the ones that has priority. Subcommittees are expected to be meeting, according to the whips' agreements, from 15:30 to 17:30.
I was asked to look into the availability of televising on Thursday, November 29, from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. I can advise members once again that two of the three rooms can be televising at the same time.
Currently, the Standing Committee on Environment is televising a minister's appearance. In 253-D, there are pre-budgetary consultations going on for the finance committee until six o'clock. Room 237-C has an official visit of the Prime Minister of Russia. So with regard to 3:30 to 5:30, there isn't a room available.
I was asked to look into 5:30 to 7:30.
The official visit of the Prime Minister of Russia is still going on until six o'clock in room 237-C. Finance, as I mentioned, is going until 6:30 with pre-budgetary consultations.
We could have the option of going to the West Block, to room 269, and we could televise there. It's up to the committee to determine whether they would accept going to the West Block.
