Committee members, I need direction. The way this works is that, if the committee gives the approval to at least consider it, then the staff will work on preparing a budget based on those cities. It will come back to the committee. The committee will then choose if they want to approve it. It then goes to the Liaison Committee for further approval.
At this stage, Mr. Coteau simply wants approval for the committee staff to prepare a draft budget for travel for this committee, which has to then meet all the guidelines. A committee will travel only when the House is not on sitting days. They will prepare a budget based on the locations Mr. Coteau identified.
Are we okay with having this prepared in the last few days before we meet the deadline?
