All right. With that, thank you.
Sorry; yesterday we talked about the pre-budget consultations at subcommittee, and we didn't decide on a theme.
I don't think we need to go in camera, do we, to talk about a theme...?
This year being an election year, we really don't have to go with a theme. We can just go with pre-budget consultations, and the Library of Parliament folks can have fun all summer getting that all together and reading it. We have three suggestions, really. We could leave it just as a press release that's wide open. Suggestion two would be “investment and innovation for a 21st century economy”, and suggestion three would be “climate emergency: the required transition to a low-carbon economy”.
Mr. Richards.

Mr. Chair, a third option for the new government could be “cleaning up the Liberal mess”.

Well, that would be a fourth one, but I don't think we'll get agreement on that one.

Of course, we're not in camera. There's a lesson learned.

Yes, that's true.
We're still cleaning up the mess from the last crew.
In any event, is there any—

Mr. Chair, that's the kind of partisanship we don't need in this place. Geez.

The Chair Liberal Wayne Easter
Yes, Mr. Poilievre.
Are we agreed? Do we want to go with a theme, or just leave it open?
Mr. Dusseault.

You're suggesting number three.
Number three, which is now on the table, is “climate emergency: the required transition to a low-carbon economy”.

There was another one you mentioned. It was about innovation.

One is to leave it wide open; two is “investment and innovation for a 21st century economy”; and three is “climate emergency: the required transition to a low-carbon economy”.
Who's in favour of just leaving it wide open, where everything's out there? I see two hands.
How many are in favour of “investment and innovation for a 21st century economy”? One.
What about “climate emergency: the required transition to a low-carbon economy”? That one has it.
So we're agreed: That's the theme. We'll put it in the press release.
With that, thank you all for your co-operation. We'll see you at 3:30.
Mr. Dusseault, you should be happy.
We are adjourned.
