Is there a date for when that might become available?

Assistant Deputy Minister, Northern Affairs, Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development

Patrick Borbey

That is essentially our response to the McCrank report and to other recommendations, and that is what the minister is currently discussing with his colleagues. At some point in the near future, yes, we hope there will be a plan that can be shared publicly.

The Chair Conservative Bruce Stanton

Okay. Thank you, Mr. Borbey.

Now, members, I'll just say we may not have to break here and go into committee business. I've circulated two documents for your information. The first is a budget as it relates to our future business relating to the Maniwaki visit, which we will be taking to the liaison committee this afternoon, in fact. The other is the schedule, and this is the schedule that has been developed.

I should point out that the meetings that are scheduled in the month of May are still very tentative and will, of course, be changed if the legislation schedule comes our way. We're expecting, of course, at some point that there will be legislation referred to our committee, so the meetings that are planned for May will be changed accordingly, should that develop. But we'll continue with our work in that regard.

If there are no questions on that, we can simply adjourn. But if you'd like a discussion on future business, we can suspend momentarily and go in camera.
