I do need to end it there.
Thank you, witnesses, but stay here for a minute. I just want to give the committee a few dates to keep in mind.
This is a reminder that we won't be meeting this Thursday. That meeting is not called.
This study is coming to an end. We've asked the analysts to come with a summary of evidence. We've asked that it be available January 21—that's a working date, a goal of January 21. You should receive a summary of evidence of the study to date.
To back up from that, it means we then need to begin the settlement services study. It's the only study that's now agreed to. You've already all submitted your witness lists. I'd ask that you review your witness lists for settlement services, if you want, and make any changes to them by January 7. We have a long list of witnesses, but you just might want to take a look at that.
We will resume on January 28 with a business meeting where we'll consider the summary of evidence, and you'll decide whether you want to hear more witnesses on the migration study. We'll begin on January 30 with the settlement services study. That will be for five meetings. The motion calls for seven. We'll have five meetings, and I'm going to reserve a couple of meetings in late February in case you want more witnesses on the migration study.
Right now what you need to know is this: January 7, review your lists; January 21, expect the summary of evidence, God willing, inshallah. On January 28, we'll have a business meeting to consider the summary of evidence to see if you want more witnesses on this study. On January 30, we'll begin with five witnesses, probably beginning with departmental officials. Then we will continue with the settlement services study until the draft report is ready for consideration. Then we'll consider that.
One last note is that you'll remember we passed a motion with respect to travel. We have not heard back. The buzz seems to be that it will not be a unanimous consent motion this week, but we haven't heard anything official on that.
Mr. Tilson.
