Welcome, members of the committee, to our 21st meeting. This will be a very short one.

I have taken the decision to adjourn the meeting shortly, because the witness is on a bus, and that bus is at least 20 minutes away. By the time she gets here, checks through security, and everything else, it could be another hour before she's in front of us, and I don't want to waste your valuable time. I apologize for this problem.

There are two points of information, unrelated to our witness appearing today, that I want to draw to your attention before I adjourn.

The first is that we've received notice from the Privy Council Office that the Minister of Industry advised the Governor General in Council to appoint Barbara Sherwood Lollar of Toronto as a member of the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council, to hold office for three years.

If it's the wish of the members of the committee, you can always review this appointment. I just want to draw it to your attention.

The second point of information is that the name of the legislative clerk who will be dealing with Bill C-14 will be sent to you later on today. If you have amendments that you wish to see, please submit them to the legislative clerk to ensure that they are in order. Our committee clerk will send to each of your offices the name and contact details of the legislative clerk. So if you have amendments, please submit them to the legislative clerk to make sure that they are in order and that they can be presented to the committee when we go to clause-by-clause. This doesn't preclude your moving an amendment during clause-by-clause consideration, but it makes things a lot easier if we have the amendments ahead of time.

If there is no other discussion, I'm going to adjourn the meeting. Once again, I offer my apologies.

The meeting is adjourned.
