Thank you for having provided us with this information, Mr. Paré.
Mr. Côté, I would like to thank you for having been here today and remind you that you have been our first witness since prorogation. Together with Ms. Brandon, your testimony has greatly helped this committee advance its work, and we thank you for that.
With respect to committee business, if you want to continue, we have five to ten minutes left for routine motions. We could also add a few minutes to continue our work in camera. We could have a sort of mini steering committee meeting.
