We would have to go in camera, but has it been rewritten since we saw it the last time?

The Chair Liberal Yasmin Ratansi

Yes, it has been rewritten. It's going to be submitted to you as soon as I hit the gavel.

For the 16th, we have decided to keep it open for Mr. Jaffer potentially, but one minister can also be approached. If it is Mr. Jean, who has been more involved in the green fund than others, we can go for it.

Chris Warkentin Conservative Peace River, AB

If it is Mr. Jean, I'd recommend that his minister also come along.

The Chair Liberal Yasmin Ratansi

Fair enough.

Now, can I hit the gavel? Can you stay for at least five minutes? We will then distribute that report in camera, and we will proceed with it.

We are suspended.
