Excuse me, Mr. Chairman, but it is still incorrect French. I think that in this committee, we must be extremely careful that the documents we issue be written in the most correct language possible.

9:35 a.m.

The motion is that we proceed with questioning the witnesses the same way as last time. This that agreeable to you?

Mr. Chairman, when we left in the fall, we had a list of things to do. Will you be sending it to us, or has that already then done?

9:35 a.m.

Analyst, Library of Parliament

Jean-Rodrigue Paré

I have a list of topics that were suspended at the end of the last Parliament. I also have a list of topics that have been added since then. The trouble is, even if I finished drafting this document today, it would be impossible for me to have it distributed on time for Thursday morning meeting at 9:00 a.m. It has to be translated and revised to ensure the quality of both French and English. I could probably send you something within two days, but you're probably going to receive it Thursday, just before the meeting.

9:35 a.m.

Liberal

Raymond Simard Liberal Saint Boniface, MB

As soon as possible, please.

If you want us to do it that way, I have no objection.

No, it's just a title with a brief two or three lines description.

Exactly. We will know where we're headed.
