This will be my last question for today.
Mr. Bilodeau, you mentioned a tax expert called Barrie Philp. Is he the resource person who should enlighten us about the whole matter of KPMG's strategies?
Chartered Professional Accountant, KPMG
Barrie Philp, whose name appears in the document that KPMG submitted, was one of those involved in developing that strategy.
As to whether he has to appear or not, I feel that's it's a question for you to answer.

Thank you, Mr. Bilodeau. We will have to end it there.
Thank you very much for coming today. I'm sorry about all the technical difficulties. We will go forward on the basis of what the committee decides.
Thank you.
Chartered Professional Accountant, KPMG
We don't know where the blame lies for the technical difficulties, but I am sorry for the delay and the inconvenience that it could have caused.

The Chair Liberal Wayne Easter
The technical issues were not your fault.
On behalf of the committee, thank you for coming.
For the steering committee, we did pass a motion or two here. Do we still need the steering committee, yes or no?
We do. Okay.
We will have to take at least 15 minutes. We will start the steering committee at 5:55 Ottawa time. We will only have a half-hour due to Zoom problems, etc.
We will adjourn this meeting and start the steering committee meeting at 5:55.
Thank you, all. Thank you, Mr. Bilodeau.
The meeting is adjourned.
