The Chair Conservative Steven Blaney

Personally, I sit on the Standing Committee on National Defence, and yesterday, we passed the motion that is currently before us to the effect that parliamentary committees follow the parliamentary committees' schedule, not the House schedule. Keep in mind that House staff are here until 6 o'clock or 8 o'clock. They don't have the same schedule.

I can speak for the Standing Committee on National Defence, but do you have any other information?
