With all due respect, we have already agreed by consensus on a timetable that includes Bill C-7 on April 21, estimates on the 23rd, Bill C-7 on the 28th and the 30th as well. But we've built in flexibility for two other issues: high-speed train travel on the 5th, the 7th, and the 12th.
We have not filled out the rest of the timetable, and that doesn't preclude us thinking about those things today, but we've also said we would have a possibility of a subcommittee that would flow from further study. The parliamentary secretary has just proposed at least two other areas of study, so there are at least two, and we have three days before the summer recess left for this committee.
I propose we leave those three meeting dates open until we have come, at the very least, to the conclusion of Bill C-7, whereupon we can have another steering committee to fill out the rest of the timetable. We would take into consideration some of the issues that have been raised.
I acknowledge the fact that the parliamentary secretary has accepted that the Canadian government—Transport and by extension this committee—still has oversight responsibility, regulatory responsibility, for the airline industry, and we ought to leave ourselves with a little flexibility in the event that we might be engaged. We have that with those three days.
I like the idea of short sea shipping. That's not a problem. But why don't we look at filling out the rest of the timetable after we have concluded Bill C-7?
