--that we would ask our analysts to put together some suggestions for the steering committee as to where we can go forward.
Mr. Comartin, you just mentioned the report back from the Chief Electoral Officer, his report on the 41st election. By practice, it will be sometime in the fall before we receive it. But we will get to it the minute he does give it to us.
I would suggest that we ask our analysts to come up with some issues to discuss with the chair and that we call the steering committee meeting based on those.
Mr. Lukiwski.

To further go along with what Joe was saying, and particularly for the benefit of those members who are new--actually, the majority of members are new--when the analysts do the report, I would suggest that perhaps they could do it.... I don't know if they could prioritize it or not, but certainly they could perhaps put out what might be considered to be unfinished business from the last procedure and House affairs committee.
For example, there was the study we were doing on Mr. Chong's motion to improve question period, and there were a few other studies we had engaged in. Perhaps we could show, for the benefit of the new members, well, here's what we were studying. And perhaps there are some other new issues that we may want to bring to the attention of the steering committee.

Sure.
I would bring it to the attention of committee members that section five of the briefing book already contains information as to possible subjects of studies.
Also, we'll bring to the next meeting of the steering committee a list of possible studies with just that kind of prioritization: unfinished business and business that ought to be addressed by the committee.

Great.
Is there anything else for this committee today?
Seeing nothing else, we are adjourned.
