Colleagues, this is meeting 47 of the Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics. Our order of the day is the motion approved by the committee, that the Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics investigate the actions of the Conservative Party of Canada during the 2006 election in relation to which Elections Canada has refused to reimburse Conservative candidates for certain election campaign expenses in order to determine if these actions meet the ethical standards expected of public office-holders.
Colleagues, this morning we have four witnesses, all of whom received summons. I regret to inform you that they have not appeared. Accordingly, I suspend until 2 p.m.
