Mr. Chairman, I just have a point of clarification. I don't know if I'm permitted to or not, but should I find myself in the chamber debating the Canada-Colombia free trade agreement, am I allowed to discuss what just took place in our committee? Or am I restricted until such time as we get the green light?

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Lee Richardson

No. We were in fact going to have this meeting in camera, but because it was a public meeting, you are at liberty to go ahead at any time.

All right. I think that's all we have for today. We will reconvene on Thursday. Thank you.

The meeting is adjourned.
