I'm just going to add two comments before we start.
There are two issues here. One is future business. My suggestion is that we should look at future business next Tuesday. We've already talked to the department in lieu of wanting to brief the minister. The minister has a conflict on Tuesday but is happy to come on Thursday. The challenge with that is, to be up front, that supplementaries are going to be passed and recommendations have to be made 24 to 48 hours in advance. We could still get the minister to come on Thursday. She's prepared her schedule to talk about what is in them, but we won't be able to change them at that point in time.
So I state that for the record as far as the ability is concerned. The challenge I have is, if she is not able to make it on Tuesday, whether you want to see her at this point in time. One of those two meetings should deal with future business. Then over the break week, I suggest that if we decide on Tuesday to move forward with the poverty study, we could then instruct the researchers to have us up to date. I suggest we maybe have department officials come in and we work on the work plan as we move forward.
Those are the two issues.
Mr. Savage.
