To the regular members, I just wanted to point out a couple of things for our next meeting. First of all, I tried to—and there was a notice sent out—to schedule a meeting for the completion of the draft report on the election study we've done. The timing didn't work for a lot of people, and I know the one to two timing also doesn't work for some members as well, so I'm finding an hour in Thursday's meeting.

Only two witnesses have confirmed to come, and we would have the second hour free. Therefore, with your permission, I was wondering if I could schedule the consideration of the draft report in the second hour on Thursday. I think that's all it's going to require, hopefully. Sometimes we go over what I think, but I'm hoping we can maybe get it done in one hour. That way, in the coming week, we could have that report tabled and then we can carry on with prorogation next week as well.

I'm thinking we might have to have committee business next Tuesday, so that we can make sure we know the plan on prorogation going forward and the other things that might be coming. However, I'll let you know on Thursday if I have other witnesses slotted in for next Tuesday and who they might be.

Does that sound good, if I put in consideration of draft report on Thursday for one hour?

That's perfect. You will get that notice. Thank you.

The meeting is adjourned.
