Procedure and House Affairs committee  Madam Chair, I could provide some information about that.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Madam Chair, what's on the consolidated list is only the suggestions that were provided by the members of the committee. In every study, it does occur that members of the public also suggest themselves to be called as witnesses for the committee. The email that Mr. Turnbull is referring to that was distributed to the full committee was distributed to the full members of the committee.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Madam Chair, perhaps I could confirm this one last time. In panel one on April 23, we'd be talking about public health. In panel two on April 23, it would be legal, constitutional and procedural. On April 28 we would be looking at a panel with the theme of Internet connection, challenges and Internet security.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  On April 30 we would have the foreign jurisdictions. Suggestions were made about the U.K. and Scottish parliaments, etc. We could also look to supplement the second panel for that meeting with some of the additional former clerks of the House and former law clerks who weren't able to fit into the second panel on April 23.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Madam Chair, I have some information about that. At this point, I don't have confirmation beyond this week that we would have access to three-hour virtual committee meetings for next week or the subsequent weeks. As of right now, the default is the two-hour meetings. The House administration is aware we would like to go for three hours.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Madam Chair, may I just interrupt?

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Mr. Turnbull, perhaps you could pass on to us those additional new names that we weren't aware of. The meeting that we're talking about is 48 hours from now, or even a bit less than that, so there may be some significant difficulties in trying to secure those people for that first panel on Thursday, beyond the witnesses we have already secured.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  The full list with all the names that were received by the different parties was on the first document that was provided in the email, the consolidated list. The document, Mr. Richards—correct me if I'm wrong—that you're working off is the one that breaks down some of the witnesses into panels.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Madam Chair, may I intervene one last time? If those prioritized witness lists can be sent to me by 12 noon tomorrow, ideally with contact information accompanying them, that will allow us to move fairly quickly to try to locate the witnesses, invite them and confirm their appearances for the upcoming meetings.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Sorry, yes, that's right. It was 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. My apologies. I can go back and check on 10 a.m. until 1 p.m., though, as well, but as of right now my understanding is that it could be possible for PROC to meet for three hours from 11:00 until 2:00.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  I can check, yes.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Yes, the timeline I've been given is 11 a.m. until 1 p.m.. Now, I can go back to see if there is any flexibility or more flexibility on that so that it could be turned into 10 a.m. until 1 p.m..

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Madam Chair, I am getting a bit more feedback as well. From a technical resource point of view in the House, it does seem that 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. is more feasible. I may have spoken a bit too quickly. Just to correct what Mr. Richards was saying, I'm not in a position at this moment to confirm even 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., but if it can be done for three hours, it looks like that would be the time slot we would need to go with, and not the 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. format

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Madam Chair, I've just received word internally from House management that our technical resources could probably accommodate the committee meeting for three hours at a time instead of two hours, meaning Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m., which would then potentially create an opportunity to split a three-hour meeting into two 90-minute meetings so that two different panels could come for each of those 90-minute sections.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  There is one last thing. Could I confirm, then, that on next Thursday we can go forward with the three-hour meeting? We'd split it into two panels. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but am I understanding correctly that one panel would be related to public health issues and the other panel would be legal, constitutional and procedural experts?
