Sure.

I want to ask the minister about the issue of the report from Mr. Mayrand that comes to the procedure and House affairs committee, which I also sit on, where every year we deal with all the recommendations that he has for changes. I'm wondering who has the mandate, then, in the eyes of the government, to review those changes. I've been there before. He's going to bring them in. Are we expecting both committees to do the same thing, Chair?

The Chair Liberal Francis Scarpaleggia

I don't see that as a point of order. It's just a question that you could have asked the minister at any point in the deliberation. Perhaps we can get an answer for you in some way afterwards.

I would just like to thank the minister again for making herself available on this important day.

I also want to thank the committee members. We have actually covered the issue in many respects thanks to the collegiality we established over our two first meetings.

Thank you all very much.

Thank you, Minister, for launching these hearings. I think we're all excited about the work ahead. Thank you very much.
