Thank you.
We are down to two minutes before five o'clock, and that is the end of the second round. I think we would just thank Mr. Dion for being with us today and for his frank and honest presentation.
We wish you the very best. Thank you for being here, Mr. Dion.

We're going to suspend the meeting for 30 seconds while we go in camera, which means clearing the room of everyone other than committee members and staff.

The clerk reminds me that it was part of an agreement made at the beginning of the meeting.
You have no recollection of that?
4:55 p.m.
NDP
Mathieu Ravignat NDP Pontiac, QC
What agreement?
We all agreed to go ahead at 5:05 to committee business, but we did not agree to go in camera. They may have lifted up their own hands, but we didn't vote on the motion.

Mike Wallace Conservative Burlington, ON
I'll move that we go in camera if he needs it on the record.
We have no issue with it. Wait until he sees what happened in the last Parliament, which he wasn't here for. It will be interesting to see how many times the NDP put us in camera on issues.
I'm moving it, if you need it.
4:55 p.m.
An hon. member
We need it.

How many times?

To clarify that, at the beginning of this meeting, when we agreed to move the time for committee business from 5:15 to 5 o'clock, we also agreed that it would be done in camera.
5 p.m.
NDP
The Chair NDP Pat Martin
That's my recollection of it, Mathieu.
I don't think we really need a vote, because we know what the outcome of the vote would be.

The Chair NDP Pat Martin
Thank you.
We will suspend for 30 seconds.
