I sent word with Paul that I couldn't go. When Bill C-2 came in and one of my motions was on, I felt that I had to stay here--I didn't think it was going to come up that day--and that's why we couldn't do it.
It shouldn't affect our ability to travel in the future. I think we're down to the wire in terms of trying to conclude some legislation. Some things come up that you have to stay for, and that was one of those days.

I would suggest that you try to get a replacement or something so we don't just walk up to the bus and find that nobody showed up.

Okay, great.
Next fall, of course, our time and place of meeting may change. We're not sure what will happen. The clerk will stay on top of that over the summer.
For issues and so on, we'll probably have an organizational meeting. We do have a steering committee. If you would prefer a meeting of the whole, that's fine, as well. I guess we'll discuss that when we're first called back sometime in mid-September, as I understand it.
Have a great summer, everybody. We look forward to getting back with you again in the fall.
This meeting is adjourned.
