Good. That's it. Is there any further business?
Mr. Bagnell, is there something else?

Can the steering committee meet before Tuesday and then present the recommendations on future business at Tuesday's meeting?
Liberal
The Vice-Chair Liberal Derek Lee
We should consult with Mr. Hanger. I forgot, I'm not the chair. Mr. Hanger is going to have to lead this, so we'll check with him.

I'm informed that for section 25.1 of the Criminal Code, which we're charged with reviewing, there could be someone here from the department on Tuesday, if we want to start looking at that on Tuesday.

The Vice-Chair Liberal Derek Lee
Are you ready to go? Okay, we'll start with the organized crime review on Tuesday with a preliminary presentation.
What do you think, Mr. Rosen?

It doesn't give us much time to prepare materials. You'll have to go it on your own.
Liberal
The Vice-Chair Liberal Derek Lee
The committee has always been so well served here. We usually have materials from the Library of Parliament to get us started on these things. Do you want to fly without them? I don't want to put our researchers under pressure here.

Officials will most certainly be preparing some briefing materials for us. We could start with that, to use our time as productively as possible. Perhaps we can have some background information on the estimates by Thursday. In any event, we're all somewhat familiar with the subject. As a rule, officials table documents in both official languages.

The Vice-Chair Liberal Derek Lee
That's fine. Is it anticipated that Mr. Hanger will be back in town?
Conservative
Rob Moore Conservative Fundy Royal, NB
That's what we think. His wife apparently had serious surgery, and I think he'll be back from it.
Liberal
The Vice-Chair Liberal Derek Lee
That would be great. Having established all of that, Madam Clerk, we can adjourn. Agreed?
