I guess the amendments would be submitted by the end of the day on the 13th.

I think the clerk asked if we could get amendments by the 11th or 12th, but I guess it would be the 13th.
Do we have consensus for seven meetings?
I see some nods.

If there are six per day times three, then it would be 18, or roughly 18.

So who are the six witnesses on the list we're going to tell we won't be hearing them? Have we already identified them?
The Clerk
It's done by invitation. I won't have to tell them they won't be appearing, since they haven't been invited. Obviously, that's not my decision. I do what the committee tells me to do.

I don't know how everybody does it, but the reason I put a witness on the list is that I have spoken to them and they are prepared to testify. So they're waiting for you to call them, since I'm not the one who issues the official summons, it's you. If the witnesses aren't waiting to be summoned, I imagine that's not as bad, but if that's the case, it's not an ideal solution.
I see that a number of witnesses have asked to be summoned. Maybe they are the ones we will decide not to invite, if that's the case.
The Clerk
I'll explain how I proceed. I always send you the list of people who are asking to appear and the list submitted by the parties. Sometimes, they don't match. There are people who are asking to appear, but their names aren't on any list. So those people aren't invited. I only invite the people whose name appears on the lists given to me by the parties.

The Chair Liberal Randeep Sarai
Monsieur Fortin, I think we have consensus—I saw nods—for seven. We'll do that.
Last, in regard to a trip, I think the deadline is Friday for me to submit. I had sent it out to the vice-chairs. I didn't hear back, but I spoke to both of them.
I'll send you details of a proposed trip, which we can amend. If we can agree to submitting that by Friday, that would be the other course of business. I'll submit that by the end of tonight, or in the morning, if I can, and then we'll go from there.
Go ahead, Mr. Anandasangaree.

Just to clarify, maybe the clerk could give us the specific timeline for the amendments to be submitted.

Again, just so we're clear, if we're not done on the 20th, then we're not—
