Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Just to pick up on that and add to it, it did occur once in meetings in years past, and we were very flexible. I think it had to do with veterans, and they did not have the time and the resources, and with the consent of all members, we were able to do it.
If I may, I would like to just pick up on Mrs. Gallant's comment. As much as the information might be there, it would not be wise, in my view, that it be distributed during the committee sitting, but that members pick it up at the end of committee, because it might create an unfair balance, if you will. If, for example, they are in one of our two languages and one might not be able to read French or English or vice versa, it would create an unfairness in terms of the questioning to the panel. So it should read “to be picked up”.
I don't disagree with “to be distributed or picked up at the end of the committee sitting”, as opposed to “during the committee sitting”.
