Let me respond to that point first of all.
Obviously, I can't predetermine whether there will be votes or not. If we were in any committee meeting and there were bells, if I had the unanimous consent of the committee to continue, I would continue, but only following the rules of unanimous consent.
If you embark on having conversations with your colleagues for Thursday because of the difficulty we've had getting some of the witnesses here, and Thursday's the day they're appearing—and I do want to thank the clerk for all his work on making that happen—I think you might be able to find some agreement around the table. But I can't do that now, and I can't predetermine that now.
On your other item you mentioned, which I think Mr. Dechert had his hand up for too, we had planned for Tuesday to begin the clause by clause. I know you put a motion forward. You don't have to do that when we're dealing with an item, just so you know for future reference. If it's within the study or the legislation we're dealing with now, you can move anything you want as long as it deals with that particular item.
Based on the letter we got from the privacy commissioners from Ontario, British Columbia, and Alberta.... They didn't ask to appear, but they asked us to have the national Privacy Commissioner, so my suggestion is that we put the first hour of next Tuesday aside and invite that individual to come for that first hour. If we need more hours, as a committee we can decide. If not, we go to the clause by clause.
So for next Tuesday, if I have an agreement, we will invite today the new Canadian Privacy Commissioner to come to talk to his report. And I'll hear from the opposition and from the government on what you want to do on Thursday about the rooms.
Mr. Dechert, and then I'll go to Mr. Casey.
