The Chair Conservative Chris Warkentin

Thank you.

This meeting is adjourned, but recall that we do have the informal meeting with our friends from the Northwest Territories here shortly.

Thanks to our witnesses. You're free to go.

I think there's a question here from Mr. Bevington.

Just in terms of witnesses, I've had requests from some of the NWT groups, specifically the grand chief of the Dehcho. He's going to be here, actually, for this meeting today, but he'd be willing to participate as a witness, through a teleconference, if possible, next week.

The Chair Conservative Chris Warkentin

Submit that information to the clerk, as we asked.

Yes, well, the clerk can actually speak to the grand chief. My understanding is that he's on the list of people to be here.

10:50 a.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Chris Warkentin

Sure. We can do that, Dennis. I'm just saying that this maybe isn't the time that we need to discuss that.

Thank you, colleagues—

NDP

Dennis Bevington NDP Western Arctic, NT

Well, it's germane to the conduct of our business on this....

Mr. Chair, I'm curious. You're not willing to discuss this when we just talked about the timetable for the conduct of this particular bill. Why wouldn't you want to hear this now?

10:50 a.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Chris Warkentin

We haven't moved into committee business, Dennis. You know the process. I appreciate it.
