We've got about 15 minutes to deal with future business. I wanted to tell you we've already sent out notices. On Tuesday we're going to look at the pay issue. I believe we're going to give instructions to Mr. Le Goff on what kind of report we'd like to see on that particular one.
On Thursday we will be reviewing the estimates. We're not sure which ones yet. We had invited Public Works, but the officials can't come, so we'll have to see what happens, what portion we will do on Thursday having to do with the estimates.
The Tuesday when we return after the two-week break we'll be hearing from Mr. Baird on the light rail, and possibly the Thursday would be Public Works on the budget.
Yes, Mr. Kramp.

With the chair's indulgence, then, when we return from the break, possibly a steering committee meeting might be in order, because we might have some information, perhaps from Treasury Board. I have no idea. Are they ready in the middle of March, at the end of March, into April, with accrual? We don't know—

—but if we can find out some information prior to that, then a steering committee might land us up on a good session.

That's right.
If I recall, you had asked, or they had asked, that we wait until Mr. Toews put out his report before we dealt with the accrual accounting again, and I'm quite willing to wait for that. But we could also have a steering committee as well, if you wanted. We're already quite well set up, in terms of the work we have to do over the next little while, and perhaps on the Monday we get back we can have a steering committee with the vice-chairs, and then we could do that.

That would be great. That way the parties can think about some issues that might be crucial that we bring forward. I'm just dying to bring it forward.

Okay, for Tuesday, on the pay issue, our researcher will be sending us a synopsis of what we've heard so far. So we can look at that before Tuesday's meeting and then give instructions to our researcher as to where we're going.
That being it, we'll adjourn the meeting.
