Colleagues, that's it as far as the list is concerned.
Gentlemen, we very much appreciate your appearance today and your guidance.
We wish you, Mr. Marleau, all the best in trying to conclude your investigation within the 90-day timeframe. That would fit perfectly with our coming back so that we could see what happens.
Mr. Walsh, thanks for your candid comments to us. We would look forward to your legal opinion with respect to the Security of Information Act at the earliest opportunity that is reasonable for you.
Colleagues, we'll just let the witnesses leave and then I just want to talk to you about some of the witnesses.
We will pause for two minutes.

We are back.
What we're going to discuss now, colleagues, is a report by me and by the clerk on certain people we have suggested as witnesses and certain facts.
What I'd like to do is suggest to the committee that we go in camera for this discussion. It's not because I as the chair don't want the public to hear our discussions. Quite frankly, I don't want any potential witnesses to hear our discussions so that they might get a particular heads-up as to an approach or who we're thinking of until and unless we make that decision.
I wonder if I might have agreement that we could go in camera at the present time.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Tom Wappel
Thank you.
We will pause for a couple of minutes so the technicians can do what they have to do and we'll ask everyone who has no business here at an in-camera session to clear the room.
[Proceedings continue in camera]
