We will deal with it.
Let me see if I can help the committee move forward and tell them where we are. In our first meeting the committee instructed the chair to retable the 10th and 11th reports from the last session to the House and indicate that we were not requesting a response from government since we have already received one. We are having ongoing discussions with the Minister of Justice about getting the responses to every recommendation, as well as making arrangements for him to come before us.
I want to confirm that this morning I did table the first and second reports of this session, the privacy quick fixes and the access to information quick fixes. That has been done.
I don't have a written report on the steering committee meeting because we had so many items and points that we thought it would be important to engage the full committee in making decisions. We also had the problem of trying to schedule things, because our commissioners are not available in the next couple of weeks.
What we do may require some stickhandling, but next Tuesday will be another steering committee meeting. It won't be a full meeting; it will be a steering committee meeting that will consider the input members give now. We will try by that time to lock in the four commissioners to appear before us to deal with the issues. To the extent that we don't need the commissioners, other business would be slotted in to make sure we make good use of our time.
The committee did agree that in addition to doing the supplementary estimates (C) today--which we either dealt with or they were deemed to be reported, and thank you for that--we are going to be dealing with the main estimates from Access, Privacy, and Justice. We will also have the Ethics Commissioner and the Commissioner of Lobbying. The access and privacy offices are under the Justice umbrella, and the Ethics Commissioner and Commissioner of Lobbying are stand-alone.
Now, the committee wanted to address the work we did on Google and Canpages. At the last meeting Mr. Poilievre asked whether the committee felt it might construct a report on the issue and whether we had any recommendations. I asked Mr. Poilievre if he could give more thought to that, and at this meeting we would have an opportunity to get the views of the committee as to whether there was something we could constructively contribute to a report to the House.
Is this what you would like to discuss, Mr. Rickford?
