Madam Chair, I do have House officials as well as officials from the Parliamentary Protective Service and Elections Canada on standby, so to speak, in case the committee did want to pivot to the main estimates at some point before the May 31 deadline. It is, of course, a hard deadline. At that point, if the committee hasn't taken up the main estimates, they'll be automatically referred back to the House. In many ways, the officials from the House, PPS and Elections Canada are in your hands. They are on standby. They are available to come. Probably more than 48 hours' notice would be best for them, but they can scramble on relatively short notice if that is required and if the committee does choose to go to the main estimates prior to the May 31 deadline.
On April 13th, 2021. See this statement in context.
