The Clerk

It's the system maintenance that's required. The House motion says that no hybrid meetings will take place after December 11. There's some critical maintenance that needs to be done on the system to sustain up to 60 events per week, and the House administration has decided to do that between those dates, when the House is not supposed to sit.

If we decide as a committee to continue meeting, that's going to be up to us now.

12:55 p.m.

The Clerk

My guess is that we could meet in person, but we won't be able to meet in a hybrid format.

Madam Chair, I'm sorry to interrupt you. I did not want you to close the meeting before I had the opportunity to respond to Mr. Blaikie. I certainly received the message loud and clear on the interest of committee members for a plan, as well as Mr. Lobb's comment regarding a unanimous consent motion. I will do my very best to get back to the committee members as soon as possible.

The Chair Liberal Judy Sgro

Thank you very much. We appreciate everything.

All right. We'll move adjournment. We will see each other or talk to each other on Friday.

Thanks very much, all of you.
