Before setting a meeting, we must ensure that the parliamentarians represent a group or a committee. Otherwise, we will be meeting with them informally.

I think we all understand that many MPs can visit other countries and ask for meetings, but we have to be very careful before we start setting up those kinds of meetings. I would ask that we get that information. That may be relayed to us even on our break week, so that we have a little bit of an idea who they are.
We're adjourned.
