Since we do have a notice on the floor, I will accept the friendly amendment about the preamble. I think, given that the veterans ombudsman is not available to come in on Thursday, I would want to amend the motion to say, “That the committee immediately invite the Veterans Ombudsman, at his earliest convenience, and officials from Veterans Affairs Canada to give testimony and answer questions related to changes in mental health services for families of veterans.”
That way, once he makes clear to this committee what his availability is, we can, as a committee, flexibly plan around his schedule to make sure that we have the earliest meeting possible.
