Tomorrow morning, I am able to say, everyone won't have to get up as bright and early as we had first thought. We had two witnesses confirmed for tomorrow, one being the Canadian Centre for Abuse Awareness and the other being the Ontario attorney general's office. They had confirmed, but of course we saw a new cabinet appointed yesterday by the Premier of Ontario. They had permission to be here from the former minister but not from the new minister. They are trying to get that. We were hoping to get that before the end of our meeting today, but we weren't able to.

I'm going to suggest that we start at 10 a.m. tomorrow and that we certainly hear from the Canadian Centre for Abuse Awareness, with the provision that if the attorney general's office does in fact confirm, we would hear both at the same time, if that is the case. I would count on there being only one witness tomorrow, and we start at 10 and complete at 11.

Yes.

Mr. Chairman, if the witness does arrive and we finish up in half an hour, I hope that we can wrap up our business early.
