The proposal from the government bench is next week, which of course is a recess week. Note that I didn't call it a break week, because we're all going to be home in our ridings, working exceptionally hard.
I want to talk to you. We can endeavour to put a meeting together. The earliest would be a week from now or a week from tomorrow. I want you to think about what is fair in order in terms of notification. What is a fair notification?
We also need to talk about who we're inviting. We don't just want, obviously, the communications person to come in. I would think we would want the country representative for each of these pharmaceutical companies to come to the committee. We want this committee to hear from senior mandarins, top officials, so some thought has to be given to the people we are inviting to come to address this.
Is it the country representative? For heaven's sake, I hope it's not someone from the legal department, because we will never get through this committee work. Give that some thought. My recommendation is that we maintain the status we have, which is to ask for a very senior executive.
To go back to the timing, a week is the soonest. Not to disagree with my colleague, we do have the calendar open on March 23, which is two weeks from now. That would give sufficient time for notification. It would give sufficient time to have people make travel arrangements to come in if they choose, or for the clerk to send out the headsets if people don't come here, because we want to take that responsibility seriously.
I throw that back to the members, both the date and the officials.
We'll go to Mr. Fragiskatos first, and then to Mr. Genuis.
