I am advised that that is something the Speaker deals with directly once it is reported, and you deal with him, as you do with the chair in this committee.

That's good. That's it.

Mr. Chair, I would like to know what the plans are for next week. We have discussed the program, but I am not sure whether we have discussed the work we are going to do next Tuesday and Thursday. I would like to know if we have any extra meetings, just in case that information slipped by me.

11:25 a.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Merv Tweed

Currently on the agenda for Tuesday, December 14, we have ACPPA, with Air Canada representatives coming. That's the only thing we have confirmed for next week, and that would be on the Tuesday meeting.

11:25 a.m.

Bloc

Michel Guimond Bloc Montmorency—Charlevoix—Haute-Côte-Nord, QC

That is concerning the maintenance....

11:25 a.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Merv Tweed

Maintenance, yes.

11:25 a.m.

Michel Guimond Bloc Montmorency—Charlevoix—Haute-Côte-Nord, QC

Mr. Chair, has the clerk tried to invite…

Has the list of witnesses we were expecting to hear from been drawn up?

11:25 a.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Merv Tweed

Yes.

11:25 a.m.

Bloc

Michel Guimond Bloc Montmorency—Charlevoix—Haute-Côte-Nord, QC

Yes? Who are the other scheduled witnesses that we have not heard from yet?

11:25 a.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Merv Tweed

That was the list that people were presented with, those we've invited, and these are the ones who have confirmed so far in the schedule. I'll check to see whether there's anybody we've missed.

We haven't gone to the individuals at that level, at this point; we've just been dealing with Transport, with associations, and with Air Canada.

My thinking was, if the committee so chooses, in the new year we could bring individuals in, if we want to continue to hear people.

11:25 a.m.

Bloc

Michel Guimond Bloc Montmorency—Charlevoix—Haute-Côte-Nord, QC

I do not remember any of that. I probably missed that part of the meeting. I missed the end of the meeting, but I do not recall you asking us to suggest witnesses for the study on the Air Canada Public Participation Act.

11:25 a.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Merv Tweed

The list we have, for clarification, is dealing with noise. We don't have an individual list in respect of the issue with maintenance contracts.

11:25 a.m.

Bloc

Michel Guimond Bloc Montmorency—Charlevoix—Haute-Côte-Nord, QC

Oh, fine.

So, are you inviting us to provide you with a list of witnesses on the subject of keeping the maintenance facilities in Montreal, Mississauga and Winnipeg?

Have you asked us for that?
