Good afternoon. Welcome back to the 55th meeting of the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs. The meeting is being televised. The meeting was last suspended on April 3. Mr. Christopherson was the last member to have the floor when the meeting was suspended.
There are a couple of points. I'm planning on going on a regular schedule today, like we were before, roughly until midnight. It depends on what you do. If you come to some agreement, or if the House leaders do, that would be great, but if not, roughly it will be midnight tonight.
There will be same type of schedule tomorrow, from nine to midnight, but I had forgotten one thing about tomorrow. I have talked to all the parties about it. We had arranged that we would suspend for question period, but that we also would meet the chair of the Scottish Parliament at one o'clock tomorrow. I propose that instead of suspending for just one hour for question period, we suspend for two hours, so that those who want to—it's an informal meeting—can meet the speaker of the Scottish Parliament.
It will be held in this room. It will be totally informal. There will be no recording, or minutes, or anything for that particular hour.
