It may or may not happen, depending on what's going on.

I think we should base it on, number one, the fact that it's imperative that we go.
Number two, Mr. Chairman, through your efforts, it's imperative we get cooperation from all parties for those days, given the strong collective support of our military. Nobody is here to say, well, they're going to stay back because something might happen and they're not going to go, which I think is what Cheryl was saying: it's imperative that we get there. I think you'll find full cooperation on our side in terms of the dates, but I can't speak for the NDP.

I think everybody is fairly flexible, particularly if we were able to go during the House session. That's what we're paid to do, and we can make that work. We might have to go in on Sunday, the 11th, and be done on Wednesday or Thursday morning, so that might just work out fine. Is that everybody's preference? Good.
Could I have somebody move this?

Thank you for that.
Are there any more comments? We'll have to carry on with your initiative.
Is there anything else? The meeting is adjourned.
