Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My apologies for jumping in. I wouldn't do this at an in-person meeting, but since we haven't yet had a chance to discuss how to communicate during a virtual sitting, I wanted to bring something to your attention.
Regarding the part of the motion that calls for witnesses to provide their briefs 72 hours ahead of time, I just have a reminder for committee members. As the clerk, I can tell you it's certainly a measure the committee can adopt, but it isn't necessarily feasible or sure to happen every time. It depends on the situation, the committee and the witness. A witness could be invited to appear or a new witness could be added to the list less than 72 hours before the meeting. Also, certain witnesses may not have the ability to put together their notes 72 hours ahead of time.
