Liberal

Ruby Sahota Liberal Brampton North, ON

Sure.

1:15 p.m.

The Clerk

From 3:30 to 4:30 this afternoon we have the Canadian Federation of Students and the Communications Security Establishment. From 4:30 to 5:30 we have the Privacy Commissioner and the Canadian Forces. From 5:30 to 6:30 we have Ian Lee from Carleton University, and Arthur Hamilton from the Conservative Party of Canada.

NDP

Nathan Cullen NDP Skeena—Bulkley Valley, BC

That's the one you want to cut out.

1:15 p.m.

Some hon. members

NDP

Nathan Cullen NDP Skeena—Bulkley Valley, BC

No, no. That's not what I meant. The Privacy Commissioner is clearly important. The Canadian Forces are important. The very last panel is important as well, but if we have to borrow 15 minutes of time, I don't want to take that from the Privacy Commissioner.

1:15 p.m.

The Chair Liberal Larry Bagnell

That's fine. One way or another we'll deal with that after the witnesses.

The meeting is adjourned.
