Yes, I lowered it. I was essentially going to propose what Mr. Doherty just did a very good job of articulating.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Ruby Sahota
I'm just going to repeat it. It's one hour with the Speaker and the House administration staff, and then a second hour with the Speaker and officials of the PPS, correct?
Liberal
NDP
Daniel Blaikie NDP Elmwood—Transcona, MB
Yes, it's one hour with the Speaker, who would appear both with the officials from the House of Commons administration and the officials from the PPS at the same time in that hour. Then the second hour of that meeting, providing that the scheduling works out, would be an hour with the Chief Electoral Officer. That would be one meeting where we do the estimates with the Chief Electoral Officer and the House and the various officials, and then the next meeting would be a two-hour meeting as described in paragraph (b).

There would be an hour with the CEO on November 17, and November 19 would be an hour of drafting instructions. Then November 24 would be two hours with LeBlanc and the commissioner.

I'm sorry.
I was with you when Mr. Blaikie clarified that. I thought that (a), (b) and (c) essentially were being put together into one meeting where the Speaker and senior officials would take an hour, but the Speaker, Anthony Rota, would appear with senior officials from House administration and senior officials from PPS. Then the second hour would be with the Chief Electoral Officer. That's what I heard.

I'm sorry to interrupt.
I would just say that maybe we would turn it to the analysts to tell us how long it would take for drafting instructions. That's the only concern that—

—maybe we would have. Again, I would leave that to the analysts.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Ruby Sahota
I think there's a slight difference between what Mr. Blaikie said and what Mr. Doherty said, so that's what we're realizing.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Ruby Sahota
Yes.
Andre, how long would drafting take since we have a deadline for this?
Andre Barnes Committee Researcher
Thank you, Madam Chair.
My colleague, Laurence, and I were thinking about trying to get the bulk of the draft report written during the November 9 constituency week. We would ask for it to come back from translation for the meeting on the 19th. Any meeting held on this topic subsequent to that could be added to that draft report, if that helps.
