I don't want the members to move for a minute. There are a couple of things I want to let you know.
I'll let you know that we have requested a summary of evidence for the committee members on everything we've heard thus far on the IRB study. The analysts hope to have it available on April 12. That will be available on April 12, as well as the comparative study looking at other similar bodies.
That said, what I would like to have from the committee by the end of the day on Monday, April 16, is an indication to me and the clerk as to whether you're going to want some more witnesses, based on any gaps you might see when you look at the summary.
At the end of the day on the 16th, then, indicate whether you want more witnesses. You don't need to tell us who they are; just give an indication of whether you're satisfied with the testimony we've had or whether you want more.
I'm leaving the 17th and the 19th available for the study. The 17th is for witnesses we've already booked whom we're not having this week. There's no meeting on Thursday.
We'll have witnesses scheduled on the 17th, then, and on the 19th we will give instructions to the analysts, but if you want more witnesses, we may need to bring someone in on the 19th as well.
That's the goal. This will all be in the minutes, so you can double-check my math there.
The other thing is that this would mean we would start with our study of settlement services on April 24, meaning that I need witness lists from the three parties. I'm going to suggest that we have them by Monday, April 9, at the end of the day. You've had some time to think about this and hopefully you've been doing some work. This will give the clerk time to get that going for the 24th.
Make it a prioritized list. Your numbers for it would be 22 Liberal witnesses, 11 Conservative witnesses, and four NDP witnesses.
Go ahead, Ms. Rempel.
