Larry Bagnell Liberal Yukon, YT

Just a point of clarification as to how you describe the coalition. The four members in the coalition are actually members of the Council of Yukon First Nations. They are four members that have signed their land claim later. So they've gotten together because they have unique needs.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Bruce Stanton

Correct. Pardon me. I didn't mean to suggest anything different. Perhaps the intimation that they weren't part of the council was incorrect. My mistake.

The second administrative item has to do with our schedule tomorrow. Of course you have the itinerary. But just remember that we are leaving the hotel here at 8 a.m. We're not going too far, but we will be on the bus. We'll board the bus here, so you can put all your stuff on the bus and we'll be making a couple of stops through the morning. Our first stop is not too far, right here in downtown Whitehorse, where we will be having breakfast. So you don't have to plan to get breakfast before you get on the bus unless it's your wish to do so.

As far as checkout goes, we will be coming back to the hotel here for 12 o'clock, so you need not worry about checking out prior to 8 a.m. You can leave your stuff in the hotel room. There will be sufficient time when we come back at noon to gather your luggage and belongings and we will check out when we return to the hotel at 12 o'clock.

Thank you very much, members and witnesses, for being our last panel here today. This has been a very long day and we've had some excellent material presented here today.

Meeting 37 is adjourned.
