It will come back here, so maybe what we should say is that Monday would be for committee business, with the report from the steering committee, and we would go from there.

Johanne.

My question is perhaps more for the clerk. Someone mentioned the Afghanistan report. Perhaps I am not grasping everything. Is it possible to find out what stage we are at? For example, the subcommittee reports or the study on Omar Khadr that were done last time, are they still in the works? Did some of those reports fall by the wayside because the House was prorogued?

4:55 p.m.

The Clerk

All reports go onto the committees' website. But everything stopped when the House was dissolved last September, even if the committee received no reply from the government. If the committee wants a reply from the government, it will have to ask.

So I can find the reports on the site?

4:55 p.m.

The Clerk

No, there are no reports, but the committee proceedings are there.

Would it be possible to find out the stage all our work got to, just to refresh our memories?

5 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Kevin Sorenson

The steering committee will deal with that.

As well, there may have been some reports from the subcommittee given here that we had sent back and that are now ready to be presented again. I don't know how that's going to work, but that's something we'll figure out at the steering committee. We'll get back to you. Again, as our clerk stated, all those reports that were filed are on the foreign affairs committee website.

Are we ready to adjourn?

We are adjourned.
