The Chair Conservative David Tilson
I think we agreed at our last meeting that this would be the only item of business for the committee and that we would adjourn this committee and then immediately thereafter have a subcommittee to decide what we're going to do for the next few meetings. Unless there's any objection to that, I will adjourn the meeting.
