Mr. Scheer had some suggested changes to the Speaker's suggested procedures. I called Mr. Scheer and asked him if he could get together with the Speaker to see if they could come up with something they both agreed on. Hopefully they can, and we'll bring that to the committee and everyone can see it: sunny days.

When we come back with that one, might I make a suggestion? I'm making it in part because Mr. Christopherson isn't here, and he has concerns about when we go in camera and when we don't. That might be a good meeting at which to be dealing with it in camera.
It just strikes me that from the nature of it, and the fact that you have a recommendation made by the Speaker, I don't think we should be criticizing or commenting publicly on something from the Speaker unless we've had a chance to discuss it in camera. I think it's a more respectful approach.
But I don't want to have us lock into that without Mr. Christopherson giving his say-so, because he is concerned about the misuse of in camera.

That's a good point. We can talk to him about that.
Do you have anything, Mr. Chan?

It's room 601 in the parliamentary restaurant at 7 o'clock.
Is there any other business?
Very good work, members. I think we're working co-operatively and very productively. Thank you.
The meeting is adjourned.
