I had a very friendly conversation with Parliamentary Secretary Vaughan yesterday. I did note in the subcommittee report that my motion would be studied after the indigenous housing motion—I'm sorry, but I forget the specific name—and what I'm asking today is if we can obtain further resources from the House of Commons to have more than one meeting per week. I am simply and reasonably asking for one hour of committee time—not even a full meeting, but one hour of time—to discuss my study at HUMA before Christmas.
There was already $500 million allocated by the minister to specific projects, and I believe another $250 million or so in the supplementary estimates (B). I just want to provide some scrutiny to that in a reasonable way. If the resources are available, maybe I need to have an amendment to my motion to have one one-hour meeting before the Christmas break.
Thank you.
