Canadian Heritage committee  Again, I would suggest, since the witnesses are here in the room, that it would be a more appropriate question for the witnesses.

Canadian Heritage committee  I would suggest that the witnesses are sitting right here and can clarify. You can get the news right from the witnesses themselves.

Canadian Heritage committee  Mrs. Thomas has her hand up.

Canadian Heritage committee  As far as resources are concerned, the committee would have to put in a deviation request, which has been done. If you're speaking specifically about adding time to Thursday's meeting, we would have to wait to hear back if resources are available. Otherwise, the committee does have a full schedule with the May 8 meeting, so it would most likely be Thursday, May 11.

Canadian Heritage committee  We should be able to add a few minutes to the meeting, for sure.

Canadian Heritage committee  We're going to go with the solemn affirmation, since it's the easiest one to perform at distance. Please repeat after me: I—state your name—do solemnly, sincerely and truly affirm and declare that the evidence I shall give on this examination shall be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

Canadian Heritage committee  That's it. Thank you very much.

Canadian Heritage committee  No, there are no hands up. Everybody seems in agreement.

Canadian Heritage committee  Madam Chair, it takes about five to seven minutes for us to switch over to in camera.

Canadian Heritage committee  Madam Chair, Peter Julian has his hand up.

Industry committee  It's Mr. Vis.

Canadian Heritage committee  You can vote on it now.

Canadian Heritage committee  It appears there are thumbs up all around.

Canadian Heritage committee  On consent, Madam Chair.

Canadian Heritage committee  Dr. Fry, you can't see, but MP Martin Shields has his hand up. He's requesting the floor.
