That's right. Andre can jump in as well, but I understand that a briefing note will be ready to be distributed on Monday. I'm not sure if there are witnesses suggested in it. When I'm done, I'll let Andre speak to that.
On the broader issue of witnesses, we have asked that members submit a prioritized list of their preferred witnesses by tomorrow at 12 noon. The plan we will be working with at that point, once we get those lists from any of the members who want to provide them or any of the parties that are providing them, is we will build a consolidated list of the witnesses by party. Then we will have a final list to bring forward to the committee at our next meeting, which is next Tuesday.
In the interim, however, in order to not waste any time in trying to secure witnesses, once we get the prioritized list from each of the parties tomorrow, we will begin to work through the top preferences of the different parties to build any possible witness panels. Some of the information the committee has provided today in terms of how it would like to see those panels operate will be very useful to us as we try to populate those panels with different witnesses.
Generally, at this point, based on what I've heard from the committee—and correct me if I'm wrong—we'd be looking at trying to make a panel that would essentially include what may be going on elsewhere in parliaments in the provinces and territories in Canada and also maybe internationally.
We would also look at trying to have a panel that would have legal, constitutional and procedural experts who could talk to the committee on those different types of issues. There could be a panel as well that could look at some of the issues related to the IT challenges, security and feasibility, which may also include rural and remote issues with broadband in terms of access for members who are connecting from rural and remote areas of Canada.
I can also share with the committee that in some of the discussions I've had with the House administration, they have let me know that it's entirely possible that on Tuesday—and this will be something the Speaker and the Clerk can answer questions about as well—what might be most useful to them as they go about their work trying to potentially stand up a virtual House or virtual sittings of the House, and hybrid sittings of the House in some combination, is if this committee, in its final report, were able to provide some guiding principles to the work the House administration would undertake in that regard. It might suggest sort of higher-level recommendations that would still, nonetheless, give the House administration some flexibility in determining the technical side of things. At the same time, it would help guide the work that they may ultimately be called upon to do as they try to put in place some sort of virtual sitting or hybrid virtual sittings in the next four weeks.
