I'll turn to our clerk.

There hasn't been a response that I know of. I think the invitation is still standing. The minister knows our schedule and the different parameters. Unless something has changed since the last time we met, I don't think that's the case, but I'll let my clerk speak to it.

8:35 p.m.

The Clerk of the Committee Ms. Stéphanie De Rome

I followed up with the minister's office. I was told that the committee should get a response sometime this week. I will keep checking in.

Okay.

We'll adjourn for the evening.

Thank you, colleagues.

Thank you to our witnesses as well. I apologize. We got caught up in a bit of procedure.

To Monsieur Caron, Monsieur Tougas, Mr. Stanford and Mr. Brander, thank you for taking the time this evening to provide testimony and to be part of our study.

Good night, everyone.
