MP Cathy McLeod asked for a spreadsheet on timelines of third party management and how that was moving through the spectrum.

She also asked for an update on a study on a particular community.

Do we have the name of that community? I think you have it.

Chief Financial Officer, Chief Financial Officer Sector, Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development

Paul Thoppil

Yes, we have that.

The Chair Liberal MaryAnn Mihychuk

I'm so sorry. To those who are listening, please forgive me.

I have a request from MP Yurdiga that we have a table about the qualifications of third party managers. I'm wondering if you could expedite that for the next time the committee meets.

That's fine.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal MaryAnn Mihychuk

That would be great.

We don't have to hold it back. If something is taking longer than expected, we would take the information as quickly as possible. We don't expect this study to be very long procedurally, but we want to get the information in.

Thank you so much.

Chief Financial Officer, Chief Financial Officer Sector, Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development

Paul Thoppil

Thank you very much.

We need to suspend for a couple of minutes to get set up, and then we have some committee business.
