The House agreed to a motion ordering the committee to travel on Friday, and it's expressed in terms of “the spring of 2016”.
I've roughed out an itinerary along the following lines. On Wednesday, April 20, there will again be food at the meeting, so that members are able to eat during or following the meeting. There will be a bus available for boarding at 6:30 pm. We would bus to Sherbrooke and arrive, in my estimation, around 10 p.m. We'd stay overnight in Sherbrooke, have breakfast there, and then depart at approximately 8:45 am for Lac-Mégantic in order to arrive at 10 a.m. There would be time for informal meetings or site visits. We'd have lunch in Lac-Mégantic. Then we should be ready for further informal meetings or departure formalities.
I'm hoping to get input and further information from Monsieur Berthold.
We have to figure out where we are going to meet up with you and where we are going to meet with the people of Lac-Mégantic when we arrive.
After departure formalities, we'd head to Montréal-Trudeau Airport, so that members intending to travel by air could disperse from there. The remainder of the party would head back to Ottawa, probably arriving in the evening.
