Just as clarification, when we say “witness expense from Edmonton”, is it the amount we pay them to come here?

Frank Baylis Liberal Pierrefonds—Dollard, QC

I have a technical question about submissions.

I meet people, and they want to get in on.... Are they allowed to submit formally to the committee? Let's say I meet some other group. A few of us met people from the Public Policy Forum, and they really want to submit something. Can I tell them they have the right to submit, even if they're not witnesses?

5:25 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Dan Ruimy

Yes. That's my understanding.

5:25 p.m.

Liberal

Frank Baylis Liberal Pierrefonds—Dollard, QC

It's a formal submission that we will take into account. Do they have to be witnesses?

5:25 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Dan Ruimy

No.

5:25 p.m.

Liberal

Frank Baylis Liberal Pierrefonds—Dollard, QC

Thank you.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Dan Ruimy

Is there anything else? Are we good?

5:25 p.m.

Liberal

Frank Baylis Liberal Pierrefonds—Dollard, QC

I have another quick question.

Is the conference board one of the witnesses coming?

5:25 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Dan Ruimy

Which conference board? We had the Conference Board of Canada.

5:25 p.m.

Liberal

Frank Baylis Liberal Pierrefonds—Dollard, QC

It already came. Someone else was asking me about that. That's why I'm confused.

Thank you.

5:25 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Dan Ruimy

Thank you very much, and have a great day.

The meeting is adjourned.
