The Chair Liberal Rob Oliphant

Absolutely. For fear of changing the definition of excessive demand, in light of what we've given to the officials to do today, we'll work out a timeline regarding what's reasonable in terms of their ability to give us that information. We may need to adjust our study time, because we've asked for an awful lot of information today. I will work with the clerk and the analysts on a timeline.

My instinct is that now that we've heard from the officials, it is now time to truly scope the study. I think we now have an idea of what is involved in this study.

We're going to take a breather. We've invited provincial officials to come in on Thursday. We haven't had an overwhelming response, so stay tuned on that. We have the report next week, and then the Yazidis study, so we have a little bit of time to let the officials have a chance to get back to us. Then we'll look at where we are.

Members, if you would each think about anything from today's testimony that you think we need someone from civil society or another official from a different department to come to talk on, we'll entertain that idea.

Until we see each other again, the meeting is adjourned.
