I call this third meeting of the Standing Committee on Public Accounts to order.

Colleagues, at the last meeting, we were still having friendly discussions over the work that remained prior to prorogation.

I just wanted to make sure that I put in front of you for your consideration.... We now know for sure that on November 26 we will be receiving the next Auditor General's report. There is a procedure around that which we can talk about. It impacts that week's work. It impacts the schedule for the 27th. We need to keep that in mind if we get to the point of actually scheduling any work.

Before I go on, a couple of people have asked for the floor.

Mr. Albas.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. It's delightful to be here with you today.

I believe some of the things you're mentioning probably pertain to in camera discussions. I move that we go in camera so that we can more fully discuss these matters.

Very well. A motion to go in camera has been made. It's in order. There's no debate. We'll move immediately to the vote.

(Motion agreed to)

We'll take a moment while they reset the technical equipment.
