Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
I just want to bring everybody back to what this study actually is. That's what our focus is. We're confusing and bringing other things into the conversation.
The study actually is no less than three meetings, and we've now had three meetings, to receive an update on the federal government's progress in negotiations of a Canada-United Kingdom transitional agreement; to hear from stakeholders affected by implementation of the new Canada-U.K. transitional agreement; and to study the impacts of a lack of a transitional agreement with the U.K. Then it goes on with the rest of the wording.
When we look at what the study was when we all mutually agreed to do this as the first study in the order of business for this committee, we also knew that in tandem there were negotiations going on. Therefore, I don't really see anything as changing here. All of us, as a committee, had agreed last week to an interim report, so here we are.
I'm unclear what the analysts mean that they don't have sufficient information, because we've actually had three meetings. The motion said a minimum of three meetings and we've heard from the primary groups that we were looking at hearing from. Regardless of the government's announcement and that we don't yet have any text or any details, I think we can still move forward with the work of this committee and just continue on with what the study was and what it is.
I think we can just continue on.
