Wayne Wouters

I think this has very much helped us move forward on some of the issues. They're very clear in the Auditor General's report, and I think we all agree that we do need to act on them. Hopefully we do feel we're making progress, and hopefully we will continue to make progress.

The Chair Liberal Shawn Murphy

Is there anyone else--not the members but any of the other witnesses--who wishes to make any closing comments?

Okay, if we have no further comments I am going to adjourn. But before I adjourn, I want to remind everyone that there is no steering committee on Monday. On Tuesday morning we're having the briefing session with the Auditor General on her March report. The lockup starts at 9 o'clock. The actual hearing with the presentation from the Auditor General starts at 9:30 and goes to 10:30. Then the staff, of course, have to remain here until 2 o'clock, at which time the Auditor General will table her report in the House of Commons.

The meeting that afternoon from 3:30 to 5:30, colleagues, will be dealing with reports.

The meeting is adjourned.
