The Chair Conservative Mark Warawa

On Tuesday and Thursday of next week we'll be dealing with our CEAA draft, then on December 13 we'll be hearing from Karen Dodds, and we'll see what happens on December 15.

Now, I've heard consideration that we may be done by then. It's up to committee if we want to meet after. People are on their way. My guess is people aren't going to want to meet if the House has risen, but it will be up to committee.

I'm sensing no. I think we have consensus here.

So at this point December 6, 8, and 13 are confirmed for a busy agenda.

I want to thank the analysts, who have been working very hard.

Is there any other business to deal with today? If not, I would accept a motion to adjourn.
