Thank you.
Angela, I'll ask you to convene a recorded vote on the motion.

We have one final motion, and it's about posting documents to the website. I will read it into the record:
That all documents requested in the orders adopted by the committee on Friday, May 29, and Friday, June 19, 2020, be posted on the committee’s web page as soon as possible after they are received.
I believe you have received that in French as well.

I'm sorry, but I just missed it. Can we read the motion into the record again?

The Chair Conservative Tom Lukiwski
Sure. I'll read it again for you, Francis.
That all documents requested in the orders adopted by the committee on Friday, May 29, and Friday, June 19, 2020, be posted on the committee’s web page as soon as possible after they are received.
I would ask Angela to conduct the vote on that motion.

Colleagues, the last point is to remind you that at our next meeting, which is a week from today, next Thursday, we will have the President of the Treasury Board and his officials for two hours. Originally, as some of you may recall, we had the Treasury Board Secretariat president and officials scheduled for today. As I mentioned at the outset of this meeting, the president was unavailable, and rather than have only officials without the president's appearance, I made an arbitrary decision to call the Treasury Board next week, because that's when he said he would be available.
This means, however, that we will have to reschedule a meeting time for PSPC officials to appear on the subject of WE Charity. I will not deal with that now. We'll wait and take a few minutes at the end of next Thursday's meeting to decide whether or not this committee wishes PSPC to appear at a later date, and what that date may be.
With that, colleagues, seeing no other interventions and no other hands raised, I wish you all a good week—

Today's meeting was at 3 o'clock. Is there a reason we're changing the hour?

As you probably know, Steve, the whips set the dates and the times.

We are at their mercy.
For example, if I'm not telling tales out of school here, I believe the Bloc has its summer caucus next week for two or three days. They had requested that next Thursday's meeting be postponed by a day, because if not, then their caucus meeting would be disrupted. However, the whips couldn't come to an agreement, because other committees had already had their times set. We are at the mercy of the whips.

Tom, tell the truth. It's just you and me trying to screw with Steve.

Well, the cat's out of the bag.
Colleagues, thank you very much.
