Thank you so much.
Before I turn to MP Lemire, I'll just explain that this motion has not been adopted yet, so we have not invited anyone until it is the will of the committee to proceed. Then we will invite witnesses accordingly.
We have three meetings scheduled between now and December 11, and my understanding is that there are no additional slots available to accommodate additional meetings between now and December 11.
However, if this motion is adopted and it is the will the committee to commence this immediately, we will reach out to the witnesses who have been asked. There are four witnesses identified, and three meetings left. Therefore, obviously, in order to get those folks in, we would need to pair up some additional witnesses, again depending on the availability.
It's something the clerk and I would work on immediately once it's passed and is the will of the committee.
That's just to explain that we cannot invite witnesses until a motion is actually adopted in this committee.
I'll turn to MP Lemire.
The floor is yours, Mr. Lemire
