Okay.
With all due respect, Mr. Small, you don't know what Mike Kelloway is thinking, but thanks. Nice try.
I believe that you and all of you—I said this, if you look at the transcript—want to focus on the Fisheries Act. It's this partisan style of approach that doesn't help anybody one damn bit.

The Chair Liberal Ken McDonald
That pretty much brings us to the end of our two hours for today.
The subcommittee was mentioned a couple of times, and I just want to make a comment as the chair about getting the subcommittee together. We've done that in the past. We come back here and it gets butchered. It doesn't work.
As far as I'm concerned, we'll do it as it was sent to us by the House, if it's something that has to be dealt with by the committee, or through motions made by individual members to study certain topics.
All I will say on the prospect of the subcommittee is that everyone on that committee agreed to do derelict vessels next, and it keeps getting shoved down the road. Even when we recessed for the summer, the commitment was that we would do derelict vessels when we got back in the fall. It gets pushed down. I think that's wrong.

The Chair Liberal Ken McDonald
Yes, that was another one, but we got to it and we got it done.
On the derelict vessels, though, a number of members here agreed with Ms. Barron and committed to it being the first item of business to be done when we came back in the fall. Look at it now.
The meeting is adjourned. Thank you.
