(Motion agreed to: yeas 7; nays 0)
We're just coming up on 6:20. I appreciate everybody's work.
I'll just make a couple of comments, Mr. Angus.
I do have a question. One of the things from other committees I've been on is that when we started we invited departmental officials to do a briefing. Is this something that would be of interest to this committee as we get up and running?
I'm getting a couple of headshakes, no. We'll just get to work. Okay.
The other thing I was going to say is about the subcommittee. On other committees I was on, such as environment, we asked parties to send in other thoughts or suggestions that they had for motions that could be considered once we got the ones going that had been adopted. I don't know if you want to have anything else in the hopper, or if we just get going with what we have started with today.
I'll reach out to the subcommittee and see if we want to actually have a meeting prior to returning at the end of January, or early February, so that we can hit the ground running, as was stated, to have things lined up. I'm willing to do that work in January to make sure that we're ready to proceed. I will be working with the subcommittee to do that. That offer's there and I will be reaching out after we finish and when we're back in our homes to see what the interest of the subcommittee is to move things forward.
We have Ms. Lapointe. Ms. Rempel Garner is ready to also provide some comments, and then Mr. Angus.
