Everyone is in agreement. We hope to have an interim report document to go over on April 9, which is the same day we were planning to do the biosolids report and the Port of Vancouver report. We could do all of that. Maybe we can or maybe we can't, but we'll make it a priority to do this one, if that's the will of the committee.

I have one other thing for the information of the committee.

You received a note from the clerk about the proposed travel on April 20 or 21—that week. Perhaps you could fill it out and get it back to the clerk by the end of the day tomorrow. For your information, you need to figure out who's going and not going. I will not be able to go. I'll leave it up to you folks to decide whether there's enough interest or whatever. Please get your document back as soon as possible, so we know whether there is a sufficient number of members for the logistics people to do their work.

I want to understand. Are we just going for site visits, or are we having actual committee hearings with witnesses?

The Chair Liberal Judy Sgro

It depends.

Madam Clerk.

The Clerk of the Committee Ms. Sophia Nickel

We've budgeted for informal meetings and site visits. There wouldn't be formal committee meetings with transcription. It would be site visits and informal meetings.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Judy Sgro

It would be site visits. They're going to have the analyst with the group, and the clerk.

Is there any further discussion?

Seeing none, I'll move to adjourn.
