In the new year we might see....

The meeting is suspended till the votes, and then we are coming back. There is also a vote at 5:30.

4:20 p.m.

The Clerk

There's also a vote at 5:30, so do you listen to the minister for half an hour?

4:20 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Yasmin Ratansi

No, the votes are at quarter to six, correct? The voting takes place at quarter to five with the minister.

Committee members, I want to find out what it is that you want. The minister will only be here for 15 minutes, then. I guess we'll have to put off the minister until the new year?

Can I suggest, Madam Chair, that we check with the minister when we go over to see what her availability will be, and then we can come back after the vote, perhaps?

4:25 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Yasmin Ratansi

No, we cannot after the vote. By the time we're finished, whatever the vote is, it'll be about five o'clock, and then we go back. We will have, at maximum, half an hour with the minister. We won't even get the first round.

Thank you.

4:25 p.m.

The Clerk

So are we asking her to come back in the new year?

4:25 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Yasmin Ratansi

Yes.

At the request of the committee, I'm adjourning the meeting.
