I appreciate that. Thank you very much.

I'd like to thank Ms. Maynard, the Information Commissioner, for appearing today and bearing with us through the votes that delayed our time for her and pushed her further and further back. We appreciate that.

Thank you very much for being with us today. You're welcome to go at your leisure.

With that said, we were supposed to be going into an in camera meeting. I think what we can do in light of how long today has been is this. On Monday, we have two witnesses coming, so we will defer the majority of what we were going to go in camera for to Monday. There is one issue that we can bring up today, and I will just bring that up at this point in time.

The supplementary estimates (C) were tabled in the House on Tuesday, February 16, 2021. Some votes were referred to committee. I'm just asking if the committee wishes to study the supplementary estimates (C) and invite the President of the Treasury Board, the Minister of PSPC and the Minister of Digital Government to appear.

7:35 p.m.

Some hon. members

Agreed.

Does the committee, at the same time, wish to study the departmental results reports, which were tabled in the House of Commons on December 7, 2020?

7:35 p.m.

Some hon. members

Agreed.

The Chair Conservative Robert Gordon Kitchen

Thank you very much.

I'm going to ask the clerk to comment on one other aspect first, and then we will adjourn.

7:40 p.m.

The Clerk

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Members will recall that we've been receiving documents from ESDC. We've received two groups of the documents already. I want to inform the committee that I have received the third and final group of documents. These are documents submitted pursuant to an order adopted by the committee on November 2, 2020. I am starting to process them. We are hoping to have them published on the committee web page and accessible to all members and the public, hopefully, by the middle of next week. A note will be sent to members to that effect when that happens. I'm prepared to answer any questions if anybody has them.

Thank you.

7:40 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Robert Gordon Kitchen

Do we have any questions?

Seeing no hands up, I appreciate that.

Thank you, everyone, for being with us and bearing with the votes, etc. Hopefully by next time the votes will be on our apps and we will not be running these extra two to three hours overtime.

Thank you, and I wish you all a good night.

The meeting is adjourned.
