All right, the wording is “no less than a one-hour meeting”, so the committee would be—

Madam Chair, just to make it simpler procedurally, I will take that as a friendly amendment.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Judy Sgro
All right.
(Motion as amended agreed to [See Minutes of Proceedings])
All right. Thank you all very much.

Thank you, Madam Chair.
It seems that, since the start of this session, we haven't taken advantage of subcommittee meetings. Wouldn't it be a good idea to hold a subcommittee meeting to try to set the agenda before the end of the session? This would help us see where we're headed with the various studies. As a result, we would know our level of flexibility when an additional request concerning our work comes in. We could also determine what needs to be dropped if we want to make room for something else.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Judy Sgro
Well, we certainly can do that. At the moment, of course, we have Mr. Jeneroux's favourite minister coming on Thursday, for 90 minutes. Then on April 30, when we come back, we'll have the last witness on bus passenger safety. This is what the clerk has scheduled.
The Canadian transportation and logistics strategy will be May 2 and May 7. On May 9, we're having Minister Garneau for an hour. Then we'll have another hour when we might be able to fit something in, such as this particular issue. May 14 and 16 are back to transportation and logistics strategy, which completes that study. Then on May 28, at the moment, we would be on to passenger rail service. That's the proposed schedule the clerk has given us, up until the end of May. We would still have three or four meetings after that, into June.
Does that sound like a reasonable schedule at the moment?
Mr. Liepert.

I'm sorry. I may have missed it, but I thought we were doing four meetings on the trade study.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Judy Sgro
Right, that's the Canadian transportation and logistics strategy, on May 2, May 7, May 14 and May 16.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Judy Sgro
Then that would be finished as well, and we would be going on to the rail service.
May 9 is with Minister Garneau for one hour. We have a two-hour session, so for the second hour, I'm suggesting we might be able to put your colleague's motion into play.

Matt Jeneroux Conservative Edmonton Riverbend, AB
Let's get this down on paper so we can wrap our heads around it.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Judy Sgro
That's where we are right now, and if that's okay with everybody, we will continue on, and if something else comes up, we will deal with it as it comes up.
Mr. Liepert.

Is there any indication that we're getting anything hived off to us from finance?
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Judy Sgro
We will find out today, and of course, that's why everything has to be fluid. We'll find out today.
Okay, is everybody good? All right.
The committee is adjourned.
