Madam Chair, on November 29, I think we will be talking about gender analysis, unless I am mistaken. Is this scheduled for the 22 or the 29?

The interpretation service is saying November 22. Is it November 29?
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Judy Sgro
No, we had to change that to November 29 in order to ensure that all our members would be here.

So, the gender analysis will be November 22. Correct?
You want us to set December 4 to hear witnesses on the cuts?

The first meeting on the issue of the Status of Women's cuts could be on November 22, which is a Wednesday, from 3:30 to 5:30—

Then we could have one on Monday, December 4, and that would give us two meetings.

Madam Chair, I regret that I will not be here on Monday. You had scheduled it for a Monday, if you recall... This is what I wanted to tell you.
I have a final point: if you could add the Collectif fénimisme et démocratie to the list. I received the request this morning.

I recognize Ms. Mourani isn't available on Mondays, but is the rest of the group here on Mondays, or is that not possible at all?
Liberal
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Judy Sgro
Yes, but there are only November 22 and December 6 as Wednesdays, unless we can do an additional meeting on a Tuesday or a Thursday.
Ms. Minna.

I would like to say two things, Madam Chair, if I could.
November 22 would be fine, as a start, I think. I'm just checking my own schedule here. That looks fine. It's the evening you're looking at, right?
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Judy Sgro
Yes, I'm looking at 3:30 to 5:30. Or should it be longer? Should it be 3:30 to 6:30?
Liberal
Maria Minna Liberal Beaches—East York, ON
It could be. We could have some sandwiches brought in, and we could do more work. We could have two round tables.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Judy Sgro
We're always watching the budget. I have to commit to being a chairman that watches the budget, but if we go to 6:30, we have to have food.
I'm sorry, Ms. Minna, you had a suggestion?

November 22 sounds fine, obviously. I know Thursdays people like to go home. I don't mind doing that either. Tuesday evening is another possibility. So you have two evenings, November 21 and 22, after committees are finished. Most committees are over by 3:30 or 4, if I'm not mistaken. So you could possibly have two days, November 21 and 22.
The only thing I want to point out, Madam Chair, is that on November 29 you would put in the GBA one, but keep in mind that's the Wednesday night, and most of our caucus is gone, because that's our leadership week. And registration deadline is the next morning, so it becomes a little bit difficult. The night of Tuesday November 28, would be fine.
