Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Members, I think you have all received the motion of May 12 to look at the supplementary estimates and the main estimates and to have the minister here.
I think our next meeting, Mr. Chair, is Friday, May 28, because of the constituency week and the long weekend. Our next meeting will be with the minister.
I wasn't part of the last time we invited the minister to the estimates, but I know there were some issues. I'm trying to see whether we could come up with a compromise here and save some time. Obviously, the minister has agreed. He has made himself available to the committee numerous times. I think he's made himself available to the three critics on numerous occasions.
The compromise I'm suggesting right now would be to save a bit of time. Normally, the minister comes for one hour. As a compromise, if we could combine the supplementary estimates (A) and main estimates together on May 28, would it be the will of the honourable members of the committee to have him in for an hour and a half?
In the spirit of co-operation, I'm just throwing that out to my colleagues to see if it's a possibility. We could focus with the minister for an hour and a half and have the officials for the last 30 minutes on May 28. I'm just throwing it on the floor to get some feedback from everyone to see if that's an acceptable compromise.
Thank you.
