At this time the motion didn't commit to an end date, but I absolutely think the committee may want to put one in at some point, so that this doesn't go on forever.
The subcommittee on agenda could make a recommendation on it after it has received each party's list of witnesses. We then might I have a better understanding as to how much time we would need for the complete study.
I would propose that we first and foremost hear from the Chief Electoral Officer on Thursday, since he is on standby and is willing to come, and that the committee decide on a date by which to submit proposals for all witnesses.
We have the next meeting filled, but we would have to decide on next week at this point and on when the committee would like that deadline to be, so that we can get the ball rolling and hold a discussion concerning how many witnesses to have.
In the past what we've done is to group them by themes and have panels according to those themes of the study. Of course, you could suggest what those themes are and how you would like them grouped, and the clerk and I would do our best to make sure that we move accordingly.
Mr. Blaikie.
