If they had to, yes. They are federal agents, so they could come here.

I would still make a pitch for northern Ontario.
For Quebec, do we need to decide right now, or could I come back to you on Tuesday?

The Chair Liberal Wayne Easter
Suzie and her folks need to put together a costing on travel, and I think we'll also look at video conferences. You guys talk to your whips and I'll talk to mine. If you could get the Quebec names to her, then we could at least do a costing to talk about at our committee on Tuesday.

I have a quick comment or a question, Mr. Chair, on the idea that the budget has been taken up already.

The Chair Liberal Wayne Easter
It's not taken up, but with what is on deck, even before we get there, it is certainly taken up. I can guarantee that committees that come before the liaison committee, which I'm on, are going to find their budgets are going to be severely cut back.

That's what I mean, yes. Would those hearings for electoral reform come out of the regular committee budgets?

Conservative

Make sure they have their own budget. That's all. If they set up a committee, make sure they have a budget, because they're travelling.

I think that for the special committee on assisted dying, it came out of a completely different allocation than the one for committees.

I think so. I'm pretty sure of that.
Is there anything else?
Thank you all.
The meeting is adjourned.
