The Joint Chair Hon. Lucie Moncion
Okay. Will we put that in the report, then, so that we don't forget it?

Don't forget that it is our intention to do this if we're not seeing real action. We will start bringing every witness until it gets fixed, but I think we're one step away from that. We don't need to bring that sledgehammer down quite yet.
1:20 p.m.
The Joint Chair Hon. Lucie Moncion
All right.
What do we put in the report? If that's not in the report, what do we put in the report?
Yes, sir.

Madam Chair, why can't we have it in there and just stipulate that we will not use this if there is a debate resolution, but if there's no response from PROC and we have to go, this is where we're going?
Basically, it's very simple. He has made the motion. I think we'll all agree that if we can't get anything resolved with our letter to PROC, then that's the way we're going to have to go, right?

It's not that we're trying to predetermine your guys' thing, but thank you.
1:20 p.m.
The Joint Chair Hon. Lucie Moncion
I think this is what I heard: We are not doing the report until we hear back from PROC. That is the conclusion.
Okay? Did we get it right?
It's difficult to follow when you go from one idea to the next.

It's because Jim and I spent three days in the navy together.
1:20 p.m.
The Joint Chair Hon. Lucie Moncion
Are there any other questions or comments?
Mr. Van Kesteren, you were asking about research on other jurisdictions. Do you want us to do that; the library to do that?

If it's the will of the committee, I think it would be prudent to send a letter out to possibly the Commonwealth countries.

Well, let's do research first. That makes more sense.
1:20 p.m.
The Joint Chair Hon. Lucie Moncion
Okay. We'll start with research.
Are we all in agreement here? All right.
Is there anything else for the good of this committee?
The meeting is adjourned.
