Thanks to the member for that explanation.
I think it is reasonable when you put it in the light that we have the opportunity to ask broader questions. Even for the government members, I think it could be valuable as well to maybe better highlight the work the Trudeau Foundation does, because I think that's a question that many of the members have here, and it's the reason this amount of taxpayer funding is there.
The only concern I have is just that, in my own mind, there are competing interests in what items we debate here. In particular, we know that the situation with the lack of clean water on first nations reserves is deplorable, and we've recently heard that it's become significantly worse. I hope that we can find a way to strike a balance between the existing studies we should be doing, the things we should be reviewing, and the amount of time that's allocated here.
I'm not sure if the member would be open to amending the total number of meetings we could potentially have to maybe one or two, just to make it a little more lean for us, because we don't have that much time before the summer.
Maybe, Mr. Chairman, you can briefly talk about what our calendar looks like. I'm curious as to how we can fit this in here, and it has a bearing on whether or not I agree with the total number of sittings.
