Finance committee  Yes.

Finance committee  In the meantime, I have already reached out to the Kielburgers, extending the invitation for four hours tomorrow. I stated that if that doesn't work, we would do two and two. I'm waiting to hear back from them at the moment. I'll communicate with Mr. Li as soon as you like abou

Finance committee  Sorry, Mr. Poilievre—

Finance committee  Sorry, but before we get going, I just want to mention that the ethics committee has not yet scheduled its meeting for Thursday. It will adjust to make sure we're not meeting at the same time as it is, just for members who've had concerns about that. I also just want clarificati
