Conservative

Larry Maguire Conservative Brandon—Souris, MB

I'm fine with that.

I have one other little thing.

5:35 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal John Aldag

Sure.

5:35 p.m.

Conservative

Larry Maguire Conservative Brandon—Souris, MB

I wasn't aware. Are you saying that the Canadian Labour Congress is coming on May 16?

5:35 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal John Aldag

Yes.

5:35 p.m.

Conservative

Larry Maguire Conservative Brandon—Souris, MB

That's fine. That's a week from today. That's next Monday.

5:35 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal John Aldag

Yes.

5:35 p.m.

Conservative

Larry Maguire Conservative Brandon—Souris, MB

Yes. I'm very much in favour of that.

I'm wondering as well if we could have the Ontario power corporation appear.

5:35 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal John Aldag

Let's first finish off this other item on the budget.

5:35 p.m.

Conservative

Larry Maguire Conservative Brandon—Souris, MB

Yes, I'm sorry.

5:35 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal John Aldag

I'll call the question.

Is everyone in favour of submitting this budget?

(Motion agreed to [See Minutes of Proceedings])

In terms of other witnesses, I am meeting now with our clerk and analysts to go through the rest of the witnesses we have—who's in, who's out.

Did you catch who Larry just suggested?

I'll catch you before you go, Larry.

5:35 p.m.

Conservative

Larry Maguire Conservative Brandon—Souris, MB

Just for the record, it was the Ontario power corporation.

5:35 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal John Aldag

Okay.

We'll see if we can get that list circulated so that everybody knows the state of the rest of the study and the witnesses.

The last thing I want to get to, and this is an item that has been—

5:35 p.m.

Conservative

Larry Maguire Conservative Brandon—Souris, MB

I'm sorry. I was wrong. It's Ontario Power Generation.

5:35 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal John Aldag

Okay.

The last item I had, and this is outstanding from quite a while ago—it had also been circulated—was that we had a subcommittee on agenda and procedure of the Standing Committee on Natural Resources. We met on March 28. There were six items.

I don't know if people have looked at that recently. A whole bunch of items have already passed. The one that is probably most pressing is pulling forward the study we had on the low-carbon and renewable fuels industry in Canada. In order for us to look at that, I need to get this subcommittee report adopted.

I'm wondering if someone willing to move that or if there's any discussion.

5:35 p.m.

NDP

Charlie Angus NDP Timmins—James Bay, ON

So moved.

5:35 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal John Aldag

Is there any discussion?

Is everybody willing to vote on that? It's the adoption of the report.

(Motion agreed to [See Minutes of Proceedings])

Thanks, everybody. We'll see you on Wednesday.

The meeting is adjourned.
