That's the full agenda for us here today.
The last thing I do want to talk about, just for a few minutes, is mainly for the next meeting on Thursday morning at 11 a.m. I want all of you to have discussions with your colleagues and with your own staff and to bring forward ideas for the committee to study.
We don't have any bills before the committee. In the last session of Parliament there was an awful lot of legislative work at this committee. Right now we have no pieces of legislation on industry before the House; we have a fairly open agenda, so I want you to bring forward your ideas.
When you do so, I want you to think with respect to ways of getting other parties to agree. It would be nice to have a consensus in terms of the areas of study for us.
On Mr. Masse's point from earlier in the meeting, in the last session a very big study was selected. It was perhaps too broad for the mandate of the committee, or too big. Perhaps we ought to look at doing some smaller studies and accomplishing some things.
I encourage you to get to know the members. As an example, Mr. Fontana has an interest in science and technology issues, so if you have a motion on that issue, you can look to him, perhaps, to support it from his side, and maybe you would want to discuss it with him.
I know Mr. Carrie, Mr. Masse, Mr. Holland, and Mr. McTeague are interested in the auto industry. Monsieur Lapierre in the Bloc is interested in the aerospace industry. Is there something on manufacturing we can do?
Look for areas in which we can do some broad-based studies and be effective and substantive. That's my goal for the committee.
Mr. Fontana, did you want to comment?
