I said the House, but we can make that recommendation. If we're unanimous, we could recommend to the House that they agree, especially if we have agreement from Sheila. I don't want to delay this. Obviously, it's my colleague, but if it's a matter of a day or two and this works better, I'm sure she would be accommodating. She's a very reasonable person.
To do the extension on Thursday would be the easiest, but there is the option of getting the House to lift the five days, with the agreement of Sheila.

I agree. I think Thursday is easier. I'm just offering what the alternative could be.

Is there anyone opposed to extending Thursday's meeting by half an hour and having Ms. Malcolmson come? Then we could make a decision after she leaves.

Thank you.
