No, I'm sorry, Mr. McTeague.
I just want to point out to Mr. Anders that they were not missing a Liberal member; I was there, and I am the member on the subcommittee. There may have been one party who wasn't able to be there, but...that was concluded.
If you have something, Mr. McTeague, that you feel you must put on the record, go ahead.

Mr. Chair, simply in response to Mr. Anders, I think no reasonable person would expect that you could attend a meeting that you weren't informed of.
We did ask, Chair, as you'll recall, that...through your discretion, it was understood that there would be at least an informal invitation given to Liberal members, recognizing, of course, the unique nature of the composition of this meeting.
I have no difficulty with attending meetings as long as I'm told about them.

The Chair Liberal Derek Lee
We'll take up this discussion among ourselves to get this business sorted out. But I do appreciate the efforts of members to work collegially.
We can adjourn now.
