First of all, I want to have a discussion with members of the committee about our meeting next week. Specifically, next Tuesday we will have a steering committee meeting regarding witnesses and how many meetings we will need for Bill C-41. We also want to discuss our trip to the east, the details of that trip, who we are going to visit, and whether we wish to have public hearings. We have a lot of things to discuss next week.
I also received a request from the minister that he is ready to appear before us next Tuesday, for an hour, to start Bill C-41 My proposal is to meet with the minister for an hour and then take an hour for our steering committee.
I just want to put that on the floor for discussion with the members before we decide.
Mr. Hawn.
