Unfortunately not. Last night, I was at the Knights of Columbus hall, Ste-Maria Goretti council, for a community event.

We are considering the Fourth Report of the Subcommittee on Agenda and Procedure. The recommendation reads as follows:
That the meeting of October 7, 2010 be dedicated to the consideration of a draft report for the study of immigration as a development tool in official language minority communities.
That is the report submitted by the steering committee. If there are no questions or comments, we will proceed immediately to the vote.
(Motion agreed to)

Thank you very much.
On that, we will take a short break to apply the recommendation we have just agreed to, that is, consideration of the report in camera.
