Thank you, Mr. Kelloway.

We've completed two rounds of questioning, but we have motions to introduce and drafting instructions to do for the analyst. In order to get into that part of it, we need to recess for up to 10 minutes for the switchover to the in camera portion. Do we want to continue on or do we...?

Do we need to do the motions right now?

The Chair Liberal Ken McDonald

Either way, it's going to take time for discussion and everything else. It has to go in camera for the motion and the drafting instructions.

I would prefer that the motions not be in camera.

I agree. If we want to end it now, that's fine.

Mr. Chair, if we're able to consider my motion to add a meeting to this study, it would then relieve us of—

We don't know if we can consider it yet or not, Mr. Hardie.

What I'm saying, Mr. Chair, is that it would relieve us of the need to do drafting instructions today if we're going to hear more—

12:15 p.m.

The Chair Liberal Ken McDonald

The motions are first.

What I'm asking is that should we end the questioning here to have time, just in case? I'll ask for permission from the committee.

Basically, this portion of our meeting is going to end here.

I want to thank all the witnesses who have appeared today. It's been a real education on something that I think most people don't pay much attention to. As we say in Newfoundland, we don't pay much heed to it.

In cutting it off here. I'm not trying to be contrary, as my mother would say. Mr. Small will know what I'm talking about, but I don't know if anybody else will understand it.

Again, thank you to everyone for your valued information today.
