I'm once again drawing from my experience in another committee. I know that when we were out of town for the human rights committee it was difficult sometimes to get quorum to hear witnesses. So I'd like to add to it that should we be outside the parliamentary precinct the committee not be required to wait any more than 15 minutes before it can receive evidence and hear witnesses. That would be my suggestion.
When we were in Montreal we were not able to hear witnesses as a result of having only half of our committee travelling and not having all the members there at the time. Leave it the way it is, but when we're off the parliamentary precincts I would recommend that we would be able to hear witnesses, and that we start after 15 minutes if we don't have a quorum to hear the witnesses.
