I would also like to tell you, before I adjourn the meeting, that I have distributed a document on committee practices as they relate to the appearance of witnesses. It pertains to the budget that is required to cover witnesses' expenses.
Does the committee give its consent for the tabling of the current expenses by witnesses?
Conservative
