From past experience, we can't guarantee the location of the room. There are lots of committees going on. But when you get notice of the meeting you'll get notice of the room, in due course.

Mr. Chair, if it's at all possible to keep this room, rather than going to south Ottawa or wherever else.... We have committee rooms scattered throughout downtown Ottawa. This is certainly a prize committee room, if it's possible to keep it.

It is, and I should tell you I have some strong feelings about it, because the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs meets here. Also, I used to chair the veterans affairs committee, and this room was actually designed for the veterans affairs committee with these plaques that you see here, so I'd hate to take the time away from them when they come here and honour vets and do their work.
It is very convenient, but we'll have to deal with the House and where the meetings are all distributed. And I also understand the challenges of Wellington Street and Queen Street, believe me.
Is there any other discussion?
Could I have a motion to adjourn?
