As chair of the committee, it's my responsibility to set the agenda on meetings and to call those.
When I was looking at the schedule today, I could not predetermine how long resumption of debate would go on, so I instructed the clerk to have witnesses for Bill C-20 on standby who are here in Ottawa and prepared for Bill C-20. It was under my instructions to the clerk to have the witnesses who would be required to discuss clause-by-clause for Bill C-20, should we get to Bill C-20, and this is where we are.
