On a point of order, Mr. Chair, do we not get another turn?

The Chair Liberal Wayne Easter

No. We're out of time. We're at 1:30. That's when we have to adjourn.

Mr. Leswick, I think you were going to get back to the committee on a couple of questions from Ms. Raitt and one from Mr. Caron. You can provide that information to the clerk, and she will distribute it.

As well, for committee members—people on the steering committee know this—we will meet on Thursday in camera to give instructions to the analysts in terms of the pre-budget consultations and where we're going with that. I would suggest as well that people come with three priorities in mind that we may want to put to the minister earlier than a pre-budget report. Also, if there's time, we might want to look at some scheduling issues going forward. That meeting will be in camera.

With that, Ms. Lafleur, Mr. Marsland, Mr. Leswick, and Mr. Botham, I thank you for your presentation and for answering our questions today.

With that, we have to adjourn the meeting.
