Derek Lee Liberal Scarborough—Rouge River, ON

This is probably not the right time to make these decisions, on the run like this. I'm going to recommend that if there is a need or it's desirable to have one or more of the witnesses return, then we take that up at the steering committee and make the decision there and bring it back to the full committee at the earliest possible date.

I'm going to excuse the witnesses at this point. Should there be any change, you'll be advised.

I want to thank you for your presentations, especially you, Mr. Hodgson, for bringing the Intoxilyzer. I'd like to thank you for your time and the demonstration.

We'll suspend for one minute.
