Mr. Gravelle, first of all, we have to suspend so the witnesses can leave, and then we will go in camera to deal with an area of future business, which we always do.

Mr. Gravelle's motion reads:
That the Natural Resources Committee invite the Government of Ontario on its Ring of Fire initiative with a view to understanding their specific policy concerns and to determine federal policy actions that would help move this multi-billion dollar project forward.
This motion is, of course, in order. It should be discussed in public, and so I think Mr. Gravelle's request, now that it's been moved and is on the floor, is a perfectly legitimate one.
We've all wished the best of luck and thanks to our witnesses, but this is something that has to be discussed in the public domain. There's no doubt about that.

Mr. Julian, we, at this committee, have always discussed future business in camera and will continue to do that.
We will suspend this committee for a couple of minutes as we go in camera, and then come back and discuss it in camera.
