Are we seriously going to stop this committee because of three words that need to be translated? Is it just the three words that need to be translated, “believes” and “probable”?

Although that is the case, it needs to be legally translated. It cannot just be done by brilliant people like you. It has to be done as an official translation for legality reasons. It has to go through that.

I know we have some amazing people in here. We could translate that, but there are certain words that are very important, especially in a court of law.

Seeing no other questions or comments, I will just remind everybody that on Thursday we have the estimates with Minister Ien. We'll be rescheduling a portion for this meeting as well, so that we can get back to Bill S-205. We'll get a new schedule out to you, because we need to get back to this as well.

Seeing no other questions or comments, today's meeting is adjourned.
