Mr. Chairman, this is a question of process. The issue of geological mapping is one on which I have received deputations in my office from the mining industry and others. While it doesn't appear that we have a time slot with respect to dealing with it, would it be possible for the committee to ask research to update us on the status of geological mapping and receive that report as an entree into whatever action we deem appropriate? It may be the kind of thing that involves just a quick briefing and a resolution and direction coming out of the committee, as opposed to a whole series of hearings.
I wonder if we could have a clarification of that, and if that process is in order, I would suggest that the committee entertain a motion at some point to give research staff that particular direction. Then we will have that paper as the basis for some future action.
