I can appreciate what Mr. Samson is saying. I certainly can, because I know there is a possibility that will be the case, but I also think it's incumbent upon us. We have very important work to do here on behalf of veterans, and there are a lot of issues that we as a committee need to deal with. If the House is still sitting, I think we should be prepared to meet. Let's not ignore the reality that there's a good chance that this meeting might not happen, if the House has risen, but I think we should also be prepared to work if the House is still sitting.
Perhaps what we could do is sort of blend this together a little—indicate to the witnesses and just be clear with them, “We would like to schedule you for this meeting, but we are going to be right up front with you that we may have to reschedule you for after Christmas,” so they know and so they're not surprised when, at the last minute, we have to tell them we can't have a meeting. However, we should be prepared to have one if the House is still sitting. Maybe we should schedule some witnesses but give them a clear understanding that it may be cancelled, because the House may rise.
