The Chair Conservative Gerald Keddy
We have a couple of important agenda items here.
The next meeting, I'm assuming, will be Thursday. The time is previously set.
10 a.m.
The Clerk
The whips have agreed to a rotational system. They would prefer we meet Tuesdays and Thursdays from nine to eleven.

That will vary. It won't be in the afternoon sometimes but in the morning. We want to make sure we know when the committee meetings are.
They're from nine to eleven.

I think the feeling of the committee is quite obvious, that we would rather meet in the morning, especially on Thursday morning, for those of us who may be trying to get home on Friday. For those of us who live farther away, that's more difficult to do. So it will be Thursday morning, if we're all in agreement.
We have one other agenda item--that is, the steering committee. The next meeting will be from nine to eleven on Thursday.
10 a.m.
The Clerk
If the committee wishes to meet from nine to eleven on Thursday, as prescribed by the whips, to discuss future business, that's not a problem, sir.
Would the committee prefer that the steering committee meet first?

John Cummins Conservative Delta—Richmond East, BC
I think the steering committee should meet first. The steering committee could probably meet on Thursday morning.

Gerry Byrne Liberal Humber—St. Barbe—Baie Verte, NL
There's not much point in having a steering committee unless you let them steer.
10 a.m.
Conservative
The Chair Conservative Gerald Keddy
Yes, the hands on the wheel.
Are we in agreement that the steering committee meet on Thursday from nine to eleven, and not have a regular committee meeting at that time?
10 a.m.
Some hon. members
Agreed.

The Chair Conservative Gerald Keddy
Fine. It will be in this room, if possible.
The meeting is adjourned.
