Here we go again. There are a whole bunch of people I'd like to welcome to the committee. First of all, I'd like to welcome our new clerk, Ms. Julie Lalande Prud'homme, who will be looking after particularly me and other members of the committee. I welcome her.
We have a completely new Liberal group: Mr. Oliphant, Mr. Trudeau, and Mr. Wrzesnewskyj--and he'll teach me eventually how to say his name--welcome to the committee.
Welcome, Madam Beaudin. Mr. Siksay is just visiting. Everybody over here but Monsieur St-Cyr is new, and Mr. Uppal is new. So here we go.
Before we adjourn, I'm going to suggest we have a subcommittee meeting next Monday at this time, the location for which will be announced. My assumption is that we will be dealing with Bill C-35, which was passed in the House. It would seem to me that we would develop a work plan on Monday for probably up until Christmas. Certainly we need to determine the number of days we would spend for witnesses for Bill C-35, the number of days for clause-by-clause, and our estimated conclusion date for that plan.
I spoke to Daphne about the issue of witnesses. It seems to me we should have a list of witnesses for Bill C-35 from all four caucuses.
Unless someone objects, a week from today is October 6, and that should be enough time for....
Mr. Wrzesnewskyj.
