I think it's only normal what Mr. Laforest is requesting. I think in the budget documents the finance minister prepares the same documents with statistics, so it's a matter of wording. I'm sure the Parliamentary Budget Officer knows what he can and cannot predict, so I don't think it's a problem. We're debating semantics here.

All in favour of the amendment to read “July 6, 2009”?

I want to clarify something, Mr. Chair. [Editor's Note: Inaudible] not to be passed or anything else today. A few weeks ago, we discussed, especially with Mr. McKay, the so-called phantom income of certain employees, namely Nortel employees.
I just want to tell you that next week, a motion to study that issue will be put before the clerk. I am just letting you know that it is coming. I am giving you verbal notice of the phantom income matter.
Next week, I will be able to go into more detail. Since the issue concerns many people in a number of ridings, I wanted to let you know very informally today.

Can I clarify that? Mr. Mulcair, did you want that raised next Tuesday?

Thomas Mulcair NDP Outremont, QC
Since it interested you, I wanted to give you a heads-up. It's already in there.

Thank you, Mr. Mulcair.
Thank you, colleagues. The meeting is adjourned.
