We could just have a subcommittee to determine timing.
The motion stands, and with that amendment it allows for additional witnesses. It's always done in relation to the parties, so that's kind of a given.

Instead of dealing with the auto theft report on Tuesday, we could have a subcommittee meeting, I suppose.
Mr. Shipley, go ahead.

Chair, you mentioned earlier today that next week, I believe, you have Mr. Goodale coming for one hour, and in the second hour you have nothing scheduled. Maybe that's when that subcommittee could be held to finalize all these issues.

I think that would work really well.
That's really not part of this whole motion. I think that makes sense, though. Let's try to work that in.
Ms. Michaud, please go ahead.

I just want to know when the right time will be to discuss the order in which we'll do the studies. If the Subcommittee on Agenda and Procedure meets next Thursday after the committee has spent an hour with Mr. Goodale, that will be fine. I just want to make sure that we can finish what we already have on the table before we start this study.
If it's better to put it in the motion, I'm prepared to move it formally. However, if we all agree to finish our two reports before undertaking this study, I don't see the point of inserting that aspect into the motion.
I just want to make sure we're all in agreement.

I would just suggest on that point as well that we should just schedule a subcommittee so that the subcommittee can determine the best slot and what's realistic in terms of arranging witnesses.
We have 13 or so, with the additional witnesses. We could start planning but have a subcommittee to properly plan the previous studies that we want to complete, and our calendar. However, if this passes, the clerk would have direction to start, and then it's not limited, and then we can have a subcommittee next week.

The Chair Liberal Ron McKinnon
How about this? We vote on the motion as it currently stands, and then I will schedule a subcommittee meeting for the second hour next Thursday, and we'll move on from there.
Is that good?

Is there any further discussion on the motion as amended?
