Is it the wish of this committee, then, for the vice-chair to table that report?

You can use the standard timeline, which is three days.
Liberal
The Vice-Chair Liberal Paul Steckle
It can be tabled tomorrow. But do I have majority support for the chair to table it?
Conservative
Larry Miller Conservative Bruce—Grey—Owen Sound, ON
On a point of order, is it still the standard time--three days? If there's a set time, then we need to....
Could the clerk read me the procedure on that, please?
Liberal
The Vice-Chair Liberal Paul Steckle
I think there are times when it isn't three days. I know that, because I've tabled them.

I honestly do not know, Mr. Chairman. That's why I'm asking.
Liberal
Wayne Easter Liberal Malpeque, PE
I think we can expect, Mr. Chairman, that it will be tabled forthwith. That's what we said the other day.
Liberal
The Vice-Chair Liberal Paul Steckle
That was in the original wording. I know that.
“Opportunity” appears to be in the wording, but we'll clarify that.
Mr. Gaudet.

The Vice-Chair Liberal Paul Steckle
Sorry, Mr. Gaudet. Mr. Atamanenko is first. I've been working on semantics here.

Just as a clarification, it's my understanding that this letter that's going to be composed will be available to us on Thursday, so we can approve it and then get on with the other business.

I would also like to have some clarification on the question. You are the Chairman, are you not? So we do not have to ask anyone permission to—
Liberal
The Vice-Chair Liberal Paul Steckle
I have the authority of the chair while I'm in this position. Sometimes I'm relegated to the other side, where I don't have this position. I rather like it on that side, as well.
Now, since the next order of business is to move to the report, can we do that? Do all of you have copies of the report with you?
We need someone to move that the committee go in camera. Do we have a motion to go in camera? Yes, we do have.
We'll suspend for just a few moments, and then we'll reconvene.
