My final point on this is that we agree to this, and to have some planning on it, I think, is what Mr. Obhrai is asking for. I agree. We just came up with this a couple of days ago, but I think it captures the direction in which most of us want it to go.
So I would say, at this point, let's pass this, and then let's get down to....
Bob, when you said “subcommittee”, you were talking about the steering committee?

Okay, thanks.
There we can actually rough out the details of where we go from here. I think this did capture it. As was stated, we all have different interests, but the addition of “key elements” is helpful. As the analysts had mentioned, it was very wide, and I think this narrows it down. We will have to narrow it down even more, but I think this captures it.
If we can pass this, then at the steering committee we can kind of look at, as you called it, a road map, an agenda of where to go from there.

Seeing the clock at 5:30 p.m., if we're unable to secure the department for tomorrow, would it be our intent to come back to committee business?

Some hon. members
Agreed.

All right. We'll have a number of motions then.
We're adjourned.
