That's good guidance, Mr. Chairman, but because we're only here for the next four or five weeks, assuming the schedule stays in place, could I suggest that rather than taking a week just to think about what we might do, we take maybe half an hour--I don't know how long we have the room for--to talk a little bit about some broad issues we might want to discuss?
As the first order of our business, Mr. Chairman, can I suggest that we invite the Minister of Industry here for our next meeting? Surely finding out where the government will go.... We have a budget; we have a throne speech that essentially outlines a number of viewpoints. First and foremost, we would want to talk to the minister as the first item of business, and at the same time talk a little bit about where we want to go in terms of studies and/or particular motions.
I thought perhaps we could establish that next Tuesday, if that's going to be our time. Even though I think we meet Thursdays, too--Tuesdays and Thursdays--we might do some broad work with regard to some of the items we might want to talk about, be they gasoline or manufacturing or even science and technology, or whatever the case may be.
Also, perhaps, if it's not possible today, meeting again on Thursday for the purposes of talking--
