Good afternoon, everyone. We're here to continue our study on Bill C-5, an act to amend the Canada-Newfoundland Atlantic Accord Implementation Act, the Canada-Nova Scotia Offshore Petroleum Resources Accord Implementation Act and other acts and to provide for certain other measures.
We have witnesses with us today, but just before we get to them, there are a couple of things I want to mention. One is that we will put aside 15 or 20 minutes at the end of today's meeting to deal with future business. The other thing is quite disturbing, and it's starting to happen all too often.
I got a call, as did some of my colleagues, from a person in the media, someone from Canadian Press, who talked about information from an in camera meeting. The person had specifics on that information and said only that it came from an opposition member. I have no way of knowing whether that's true or not, but I just want to remind all members of the committee that when things are dealt with in camera, they have to stay in camera. It's really important that we can trust that what is said in camera and what is dealt with in camera stays in camera.
It is extremely disappointing to me that this has happened. It has happened at other committees too. It has to stop. It is a breach of members' privilege. I trust that it will stop. If somebody has unintentionally disclosed something that they hadn't intended to—and I know that can happen if you get into an interview and you kind of forget what you should and shouldn't be talking about—certainly I'd be interested in hearing from whoever has done that. We can have a bit of a chat about it. I just have to believe that this isn't going to happen in the future and that what is discussed in camera will stay in camera.
Mr. Julian, go ahead.
