The Chair Conservative Joe Preston

Thank you.

That may be something else we can discuss on your return in the fall, if we can set that up.

I thank our guests.

Thank you, Monsieur Mayrand. We'll work together to have you back here in the fall and discuss some of the future planning.

The Chair Conservative Joe Preston

Super. Thank you very much.

I need an answer from the group now. Are we returning after votes for committee business or are we not?

Mr. Lukiwski, and then Mr. Lamoureux, and quite quickly, please.

11:55 a.m.

Conservative

Tom Lukiwski Conservative Regina—Lumsden—Lake Centre, SK

Yes. From our standpoint, we don't have anything to discuss, but if somebody wants to come back, we're fine with it.

The Chair Conservative Joe Preston

We have the motion of the member opposite.

That's why I'm looking at you, David.

Kevin Lamoureux Liberal Winnipeg North, MB

Mr. Chair, what are we doing on Tuesday? That's the only question I have.

11:55 a.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Joe Preston

The committee will meet as a whole and discuss the two items of private members' business that we discussed last week. We now have a couple of motions before us, or that could very well be before us, so that would be the work. Also, Mr. Lukiwski's motion passed last week. We have to finish the planning on that. You've heard that the Clerk cannot appear because she's on a medical leave until mid-July, so we'll discuss that also.

11:55 a.m.

NDP

Craig Scott NDP Toronto—Danforth, ON

Very quickly, Mr. Chair, I was probably not paying attention, but have we been given a deadline in regard to suggesting witnesses for the two private members' items?

11:55 a.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Joe Preston

I would like to have that discussion as to how we'll move forward with both of them, and that may very well be it. We will have to ask for an extension on Mr. Trost's item before the summer, if indeed we're going to go further on that study, but that's the will of the committee.

We will see everyone on Tuesday.

The meeting is adjourned.
