Thank you, Mr. Chair.
We're pretty much on the same page. We all want the minister to appear; there's no doubt about that, and we certainly want to hear from officials as well.
We have four meetings in front of us, one of which I believe we're going to try to get Mr. O'Regan to appear at as well. That's two meetings , which leaves us two more meetings. Again, Mr. Zimmer has a lot of experience in this, but we can request if and when she is available in the four time slots we have, and we can take it from there. I'm not opposed at all to the request. The best we can do is ask, and if she can't make it in the next four meetings, then certainly in the new year.
I don't think it's a question of if she will appear. It's a question of when she will appear. On that basis, I don't know if Mr. Zimmer wants to move on that but then we could get going with the witnesses.
