Charlie Angus NDP Timmins—James Bay, ON

That's perfectly fine with me.

The Chair Liberal Diane Marleau

Do you mean we'll miss the final portion of that sentence?

Charlie Angus NDP Timmins—James Bay, ON

Yes. We'll take out “and therefore cannot be considered a response to his recommendations”.

The Chair Liberal Diane Marleau

If everybody is in accord, we'll remove that portion as well.

We'll go to Mr. Albrecht and then Mr. Holland, if they have anything more to add.

I want Mr. Angus to clarify it. So after this is passed, there'll be no further action by this committee.

The Chair Liberal Diane Marleau

That's correct.

Could the clerk give us an update on our schedule?

Certainly. On Thursday, Mr. Fortier will be appearing before us to discuss the Main Estimates.

Diane Bourgeois Bloc Terrebonne—Blainville, QC

Excellent.

The Chair Liberal Diane Marleau

Our analyst has prepared a report on the compensation delivery system, which he will hand round to members. We will deal with that on Tuesday. Then we have the...

All business being concluded, thank you very much. The meeting is adjourned.
