No.
Mr. Julian is here, and we have to have an election for vice-chair. There are a lot of people in the running.
Mr. Clerk.
The Clerk of the Committee Mr. David Gagnon
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Pursuant to Standing Order 106.2, the second vice-chair must be a member of an opposition party other than the official opposition.

As one British Columbian, I will warn the group that I'm one too, so watch out. However, I nominate Mr. Julian as second vice-chair.
The Clerk
It has been moved by Dan Albas that Peter Julian be elected as second vice-chair of the committee. Is it the pleasure of the committee to adopt the motion?
The Clerk
I declare the motion carried, and Peter Julian duly elected second vice-chair of the committee.

The Chair Liberal Wayne Easter
Congratulations, Peter.
With that and there being no further business today, we will meet about the proceeds of crime, money laundering, and terrorist financing on Wednesday.
Mr. Julian.

Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I wanted to follow-up on something Mr. Dusseault raised last week. It was the follow-up to the Senate reports, and I understand there was going to be information coming forward that indicated to what extent the previous recommendations had been enacted.
Do you know if we are going to have that before Wednesday?
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Wayne Easter
I don't know that we'll have it before then. We've asked the department to come forward with information regarding that. The officials did say that it was quite difficult to be specific with regard to each recommendation, but they would come forward with general comments on where they're at with those recommendations.
If you go to their discussion paper, it's outlined to some degree in it, but I think Mr. Dusseault was asking for something more specific. They're looking at doing that, but I doubt we'll have it by Wednesday.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Wayne Easter
We will probably have ample time to get that, because the various departments—I think there are around 11—and agencies will be coming forward over the next three meetings, I believe.
Thank you all.
The meeting is adjourned.
