Thank you, Madam Chair.
I know we will all be in our respective ridings during next week's parliamentary recess. I hope that just because we can't receive the minister doesn't mean we won't have a meeting on Friday. I think it's just as—if not more—important to hear from the witnesses than to hear from the minister.
If everyone wants a break next week, I have no problem supporting this request. That said, I would like us to be able to hear from the witnesses for at least one hour today. I believe that's what has been agreed to, but I would just like to make sure that everyone agrees that we will hear witnesses for one hour today and that those we haven't been able to hear from will be invited back, as soon as we know the dates of the next committee meetings.
