On the agenda

Members speaking

Before the committee

Laura Munn-Rivard  Committee Researcher

Pam Damoff Liberal Oakville North—Burlington, ON

We're starting this May 3, and it will be done by the 19th. You're going to be busy writing.

4:10 p.m.

Committee Researcher

Pam Damoff Liberal Oakville North—Burlington, ON

When does that come back to us?

4:10 p.m.

Committee Researcher

Laura Munn-Rivard

Version one would be delivered and we would consider it at the June 2 meeting. You would actually see it in advance, because you have to read it before the meeting.

It would be a shorter report because of the tight deadline, but at least during that week off I could write it. It would also get translated during that time and formatted and edited. It would be tight, but by the June 2 meeting you could probably review a draft.

4:10 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Marilyn Gladu

Right. Then we would have comments at the June 2 meeting about the report, which you would incorporate, and the thing would be ready to go on June 9.

4:10 p.m.

Committee Researcher

Laura Munn-Rivard

If you had any changes to the report, then yes, you have the June 2, June 7, and June 9 meetings. That's assuming we sit until the next week. The stars in here mean that you could rise early. At that point, hopefully it could be tabled the week of June 13.

This is a very tight deadline, so we'd have to move quickly.

Pam Damoff Liberal Oakville North—Burlington, ON

We will.

What are we going to do on May 31 then?

4:10 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Marilyn Gladu

I believe we have time to return to our originally scheduled program of violence against women and hear some testimony, if we care to, or if you want that time back, it's the will of the committee.

Pam Damoff Liberal Oakville North—Burlington, ON

What if we took that meeting to go through our witness list with regard to violence against young women and girls?

4:15 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Marilyn Gladu

Yes.

Pam Damoff Liberal Oakville North—Burlington, ON

Because similar to this one, we've just thrown everybody in there. Maybe we could fine-tune it so that we have a really good work plan, you guys have the summer to get in touch with witnesses, and we can actually nail down who we want to call as witnesses and get a little bit ahead on that. Then we study the report on June 2, and possibly June 7.

4:15 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Marilyn Gladu

Do you want there to be a subcommittee meeting on May 31?

Pam Damoff Liberal Oakville North—Burlington, ON

I think so, yes.

4:15 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Marilyn Gladu

The same deal as today, subcommittee and then meet with the whole crowd, or two hours of subcommittee?

A voice

With 101 witnesses...?

4:15 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Marilyn Gladu

Two hours of subcommittee: sold.

Sheila Malcolmson NDP Nanaimo—Ladysmith, BC

Is that on the 31st?

4:15 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Marilyn Gladu

Yes. Excellent.

Pam Damoff Liberal Oakville North—Burlington, ON

Then what are we doing next week?

4:15 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Marilyn Gladu

Next week we have Justice Canada, Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada, the Public Health Agency, and Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada coming to talk on violence against women, as well as Public Safety Canada and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

We're kind of continuing on our theme until we can schedule in all the rest of these and get approval today for the GBA work plan.

Pam Damoff Liberal Oakville North—Burlington, ON

After these people appear, we won't deal with this again until September.

Laura, can we get maybe not a report but a bit of a recap from you in terms of an overview of what was said?

4:15 p.m.

Committee Researcher

Laura Munn-Rivard

In the fall?

Pam Damoff Liberal Oakville North—Burlington, ON

In the fall. I mean, how do we deal with that? It's months between when we hear from them and—

4:15 p.m.

Committee Researcher

Laura Munn-Rivard

I could definitely provide, in the fall, a summary of what we heard. It would be like a background paper to remind you of what was heard a couple of months ago.

Pam Damoff Liberal Oakville North—Burlington, ON

Do we need that, or...?
