To both witnesses, I appreciate your time before us here today.
Before we conclude, folks, all members received suggested schedules for the informal meetings. We've had that discussion and there were no objections received, so we're going to proceed to organizing these meetings.
I'll put it to you:
a) The committee meet, in informal meetings, with
i) A delegation from the Estonia-Canada Parliamentary Friendship Group, jointly with the Foreign Affairs and International Development Committee, on Tuesday, May 26, 2026;
ii) A delegation from the European Parliament Security and Defense Committee on Tuesday, May 26, 2026;
iii) The German Federal Minister of Defence on Wednesday, May 27, 2026;
iv) A delegation from Luxembourg on June 2, 2026;
b) the committee defray the hospitality expenses, or half the hospitality expenses for a joint meeting.
We're talking about coffee and a flag.
That's item one.
Is it agreed?
I see no opposition—

I know Wednesday is a packed day. My suggestion was from 1p.m. to 2 p.m., which is after the caucus meetings but before QP.

Regarding the NORAD modernization study, the Northwest Territories trips will happen from Monday, July 13, to Friday, July 17. We should have the names of the members who will travel provided to the clerk by the end of the week. Folks, please provide those names. As you know, it allows for six MPs: three Liberals, two Conservatives and one Bloc member. That was the agreement. I think we talked about possibly doing some MOB, and we'll discuss that with the clerk as we proceed.
With the committee's agreement, shall we adjourn the meeting?
The meeting is adjourned.
