It's that on May 10 from 5:30 to 6:00, the steering team would meet to have the quick check back, instead of on May 11.

Otherwise, trying to find time and coordinate our schedules....

All right. I think that answers most of the questions. The clerk will tell me.
The Clerk
We're going to start the study on May 3 and work for five meetings. What's the date of our goal to table in the House? Do we want to set that goal?

If by chance we find out that the House is rising earlier, is there any way we could do this to get it there for June 9?
Committee Researcher
We have to have a meeting with production, which includes translation and formatting. At the meeting with production, we can speak to them about what to do in the situation that the House rises early. I can speak to them about that.

It would just be a shame to be a week away from tabling it, to do all this work and not get it done before the end of....
Committee Researcher
Usually at production they understand that there are tight deadlines and that there are unanticipated elements such as this. They're able to rush something if they have to. I'll consult with them when we have the meeting and tell them about this.

The point that the clerk is bringing is that we need to set a deadline to receive written briefs from members of the public on the study of gender-based analysis. The suggestion is that we set May 12, because then we can incorporate any of that feedback into the report.

Yes, that's fine.
Just in case we have to rise early, should we put it out to the committee that we might need an extra meeting during that week in June, if we had to work quickly? Is that necessary?
The Clerk
We won't know for sure for quite some time. You could always give them a heads-up that it's a possibility, if that's what the committee decides, but I don't think we need to say, block this off on your calendar.

I would just hate to see us get so close and not get it done.

Actually, my question is to the clerk.
May 12 is the deadline for written submissions. Do we have a link or anything to show where they're submitting them?
