Wade Grant Liberal Vancouver Quadra, BC

Thank you.

We've conferred.

Mr. Leslie, I have a tremendous amount of respect for you, as you know. As you referenced the court case that is currently ongoing, this matter is before the courts, and a parliamentary standing committee shouldn't be intervening in or commenting on this, so it would be inappropriate.

This committee's very first study in this Parliament was the ERP study, which the Conservatives were pressing for. A government response was requested and was tabled the first day the House returned. Interested members are invited to review that response.

With that, we are moving to adjourn debate on this motion.

(Motion agreed to)

5:45 p.m.

The Chair Liberal Shannon Miedema

The debate is adjourned.

It being 5:49 p.m., we will end this meeting.

Thank you very much.
