Thank you, Madam Chair.
Respectfully, the context is that members of the government are putting forward a motion. I thought at a point when there's already.... I don't know what I can say, given that....
It's a matter of public record on the notice that there was consideration of a draft report at the last meeting, so people already know that there's already been consideration of a draft report on this subject. We have a proposal for another witness, and I want to accommodate that, if that's the desire of members, but my point is that since the government brought forward this proposal for additional witnesses, let's not slow down the work of the committee that needs to happen. We have limited time slots during sitting weeks. I'm trying to accommodate what the government and members want by saying we could set aside two hours in a two-week period.
Madam Chair, I don't know if I can amend my own amendment. I think maybe I can. I think I would like to add after “during the Easter recess” the words “following consultations with members about their availability”.
