This probably goes without saying, but just as guidance to the subcommittee, I'm assuming that some time you will continue our report on economic development in the north. We spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on it.

The Chair Conservative Bruce Stanton

Mr. Rickford, do you have something else?

4:20 p.m.

Conservative

Greg Rickford Conservative Kenora, ON

In support of what Mr. Bagnell has said here and in light of this other motion, I want to make sure we are clear that the other motion did not contain any consensus to meet outside of regular committee hours for additional work that the motion might produce, and that furthermore, given the resources that have been spent on that economic study, we remain committed to following through on that.

4:20 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Bruce Stanton

I'm sure the subcommittee will take those comments under advisement. I know they will be working diligently to accommodate the work of the committee.

There being no other comments, we'll be back here Thursday afternoon for the supplementary estimates (C). We'll have the minister with us for that meeting.

Subcommittee members, stay here.

Thank you very much. The meeting is adjourned.
