Well, I'm the chair, and you don't have to if you don't want to.

I don't exactly know what you're asking. That's why I offered.
The Clerk
As some of you know, the forestry task force report was made public this morning. As per the motion that was adopted in committee earlier this session, we will be receiving the two co-chairs of the forestry task force on June 16 for an hour.

Madam Chair, we also still have our dispute with our friends at Enbridge, who are avoiding us. They are just as friendly as we are. I don't know if the clerk can tell us where we stand, but as for me, I want to show the people at Enbridge some love; I want to hear what they have to say; I'm ready.
The Clerk
As regards Enbridge, we have been in contact with them on several occasions. I have still not received a reply from them. So I shall continue to contact them.

I know that these large companies often have PR firms that monitor the committees. Perhaps we should simply point out to them that they can be summoned to appear, and that it would look bad in the media to be summoned to appear before a House of Commons committee. Are we collectively reaching the end of our patience? I think I'm very close to it myself.

Thank you, Monsieur Simard. I think that is a discussion that we should have as committee members, because, of course, I also support transparency and that motion. I think we'll have a discussion about this and figure out what we will do about it. Thank you for that reminder.
Again, thank you, everybody, for your patience and forbearance with our technical challenges—especially the witnesses who came here to be present with us—and for your assistance and accommodation today.
Is it the will of the committee to adjourn this meeting?
