Thank you, Professor Huebert. On behalf of our committee, I want to thank you for your presentation. It is very useful for the work of our committee. Thank you very much.

Megan Leslie NDP Halifax, NS

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I've been asked by the usual member of this committee, Mr. Harris, to request that the deadline for submissions of a supplementary report be extended until noon on Friday, June 12, to allow for translation, so I assume I would have to make a motion for that.

If I can go ahead, the wording of the motion would be:

That notwithstanding the Order adopted by the Committee on Monday, June 8, 2009, the deadline for the submission of dissident or supplementary opinions related to the Committee’s report on health care services offered to Canadian Forces personnel be extended until Friday, June 12, 2009 at 12:00 p.m. (Eastern daylight time).

4:45 p.m.

The Chair Conservative Maxime Bernier

Do you have a member who supports that? Mr. Hawn. Okay. Merci.

(Motion agreed to)

It has been approved by the committee. Thank you very much.

I just want to inform the committee that if members wish to have a press release on the work that we are doing right now concerning our report that will be ready next week, we can have a press release. The analysts can work on that this week and at the beginning of next week. So if we have a press release, we would be ready to table that report on Tuesday, before the end of the day.

Do we have an agreement to go ahead with a press release?

Yes, Mr. Bagnell.

Yes, we're in agreement, but Bryon wants to see it before it's released.

The Chair Conservative Maxime Bernier

So next Monday we will have a draft of the press release and the members will be able to discuss it for our approval. After that we'll table the report on Tuesday with the press release.

Thank you very much.

The meeting is adjourned.
