Thank you, Ms. Lattanzio.
I understand what the members of the committee would like.
As I said, next Thursday, we will have a two-hour meeting, but, at the moment, we only have two witnesses. The clerk has made a number of calls and has left a number of voicemail messages for the witnesses she has contacted.
We will do whatever is necessary to begin studying Mr. Beaulieu's motion as quickly as possible. I would ask you to submit your list of witnesses by noon on Thursday and we will start playing with it. The clerk and I are waiting for several witnesses to call us back. It is possible that we would do the study on Ms. Lattanzio's motion on Thursday and that the topic on the agenda of Tuesday's meeting will depend on the list of witnesses that you submit and the calls we make. It may also be that, on Tuesday of the following week, depending on the availability of witnesses and to avoid us coming back to committee business, we may have a second meeting on Ms. Lattanzio's motion. That is the likely situation.
After this meeting, the clerk and I will stay in contact, but the sooner you submit your lists of witnesses, the sooner the clerk will be able to invite them.
We must also think about our analysts. They have worked on the meeting with the commissioner. We have this motion on Thursday's agenda, which our analysts are already working on. If we have a meeting next Tuesday on a new study, our analysts will have to hurry in order to provide us with documents by then.
I think I fully understand what members of the committee would like to do. At this stage, I would ask you to leave it in our hands and we will keep you up to date as things develop.
Mr. Beaulieu, you have the floor.
