Madame Chabot suggests Tuesday, May 21, so we'll go with that.

There is one final item.

If any member of the committee wants to consider travel attached to any motions that we may look at in the fall, currently the internal Liaison Committee will look at travel requests for the period from the end of June to the end of December 31.

What I'm advising is that if any member wishes to request such, we would need to receive the final details by Wednesday, May 22. Should HUMA wish to travel, the committee will need to submit its detailed budget by May 31.

When we come back, if any member wishes to suggest that, at our first meeting you would need to know the locations and how many locations you would look at, because the staff has to prepare an estimated budget.

I will give you a little heads-up: I do sit on the committee that chooses where you go or don't go.

With that, committee members, I see no further business before the committee.

Liberal

Peter Fragiskatos Liberal London North Centre, ON

My apologies, Chair, just to confirm, May 21 is the the deadline for parties to submit witnesses for the housing study, and then June 21 is the deadline for organizations to submit briefs.

10:15 a.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Bobby Morrissey

Yes, June 21 to submit written briefs on the housing study that will begin shortly, and we chose Tuesday, May 21, as the date for witnesses.

Is that good?

Seeing nothing else, is it the wish of the committee to adjourn?

10:15 a.m.

Some hon. members

Agreed.

The committee is adjourned.

Thank you, committee members.
