Thank you, General.
Thank you, Ms. Romanado.
I know the time is running out.
Mr. Bezan, you wanted to interject.

I have one quick question.
Maybe you can reply in writing.
It's on the application of Bill C-11 when it involves multiple jurisdictions. As an example, the reserve 38 Canadian Brigade is training at CFB Wainwright at the manoeuvre training centre. A sexual assault takes place. The victim is from the Royal Winnipeg Rifles in Winnipeg. The accused is from the Armoury in Thunder Bay. Witnesses might be from Regina or Saskatoon. You have the RCMP, different city police and the OPP. Who is doing the investigation? How are you collecting evidence?

If you could bring that to us in writing, that would be important. That's a multi-jurisdictional issue. It's a good question, so if you can respond to that, Deputy, that would be effective.
Before we adjourn, I will note that, as we continue to study Bill C-11, I encourage all of you to bring forward witnesses—hopefully by tomorrow, so the clerk and the team can have some time to contact witnesses to appear before us. Please submit your witness list soon.
For Thursday's meeting, the deputy commissioners of the Coast Guard are available to appear. They'll be part of the first hour. The second hour will be on NORAD modernization and we'll have some witnesses appear for that, so we're good there.
For the November 4 meeting, we have a conflict, because we're all going to be supporting the budget presentation that afternoon. We're going to miss out on our committee on that day—

We don't want to miss it. We can rearrange it.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Charles Sousa
We'll see how we can proceed in terms of rearrangement.
Our next meeting will be Thursday, October 30. We'll proceed, and then we'll provide some notification as to what that will entail. Bill C-11 is the intent as we go forward, so that we can resolve this issue.
Ladies and gentlemen, with your permission, the meeting is adjourned.
