The Chair Conservative David Sweet

Thank you, Mr. Kee.

Mr. Lake, the bells are ringing. I took a moment the last time to give any members a chance to give me a response before I adjourned.

Is there anybody who wants to make any requests of me before I adjourn?

Mr. Julian.

Could we ascertain whether it's 15 minutes or a half hour?

Mike Lake Conservative Edmonton—Mill Woods—Beaumont, AB

In fairness, though, with seven-minute rounds, by the time we get done our round, there's not going to be time for everybody to get a round. In fairness, we have to respect the rules and go. I just started my round. There would be 21 minutes before we each get seven minutes. I don't think we can do that. We should probably try to have these witnesses come back.

The Chair Conservative David Sweet

Thank you, Mr. Lake, because I was going to say, too, that I have to make a decision as well about adjournment or suspension. If we were in Centre Block, it would be suspension, but because we have to travel and come back here, we are going to adjourn the meeting. We'll have to decide whether we want to call these witnesses back and whether they would be gracious enough to return back.

Mr. Masse.

As a collective, we could get each party to submit their questions of the witnesses to the clerk, and then get that collective response back from the witnesses.

The Chair Conservative David Sweet

I'd be glad to consider that at a future meeting; we can dialogue about that for some business at a future meeting, but right now we need to adjourn.

The meeting is adjourned.
