Ms. Zarrillo, this committee is simply dealing with anything related to divisions 26, 27, 29 and 32.

You could raise it at a future meeting of the committee, but at this time we're currently discussing the letter back to FINA.

Seeing no objections, again, do we have thumbs up to Madame Chabot's motion?

Okay. Seeing no other motions that want to come to the floor of the committee....

Madam Gladu.

In terms of other things we heard from the witnesses, we did hear a bit about some of the service-level issues. We may want to make a recommendation that the government ensure that there are adequate resources to provide service on these additional changes or something like that.

12:30 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Bobby Morrissey

Do you want me to incorporate that into the letter going to FINA?

Yes, if the committee agrees.

I think we can get agreement. It looks like we have agreement on that, Madam Gladu.

Madam Clerk, do you have the comments from Madam Gladu?

12:35 p.m.

The Clerk of the Committee Ms. Danielle Widmer

I'm going to ask her to repeat it, please, so I can take a note.

12:35 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Bobby Morrissey

I understand where you're going, Marilyn.

Conservative

Marilyn Gladu Conservative Sarnia—Lambton, ON

Based on hearing from witnesses about some of the backlog, we recommend that the government ensure adequate resources for these additional changes.

12:35 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Bobby Morrissey

That's pretty clear. I'm seeing no dissent and no discussion, so Madam Gladu, we will incorporate your comments verbatim. We have two recommendations to go back to FINA.

Seeing no other discussion at this particular time, I will adjourn the meeting. Thanks very much for your input. It's been most informative.

Madam Kusie, the indications are that the minister will be appearing on the 30th. We'll be sending the notice out.

12:35 p.m.

The Clerk

Mr. Chair, the Minister of Families confirmed this morning her availability on the 30th. She'll be appearing from 12 to one o'clock on the 30th.

12:35 p.m.

The Chair Liberal Bobby Morrissey

Thank you, Clerk.

That was the issue you raised, Madam Kusie.

With that, the meeting is adjourned. Have a good rest of the week.
