The Chair Conservative Colin Mayes

Certainly. I think that would be all right.

Mr. LeBlanc? Okay. Thank you.

I think what we'll do is we'll not only talk about the witnesses, but we'll talk about the parameters of the study in education, because that's a big area, whether it's secondary education or post-secondary education, and just where we want to go with that, and the structure, the funding.

There are a number of issues there, I'm sure, that we could explore. So we should maybe set some priorities within that.

It almost sounds like a topic for a separate meeting.

The Chair Conservative Colin Mayes

Okay. We'll decide on that at the opportunity we have in camera.

Rod Bruinooge Conservative Winnipeg South, MB

Perhaps at the next meeting we could address that. If we can't, we'll drop it off at the subcommittee--if we can't resolve it.

I'll move to adjourn.

The Chair Conservative Colin Mayes

Thank you.

The meeting is adjourned.
