Thank you very much. I was worried; I was going to have my computer fixed.

Director, Government Affairs and Community Relations, Air Canada

I just want to make sure I understand the problem. When you go to our website, the information automatically appears in English?

Yes.

Director, Government Affairs and Community Relations, Air Canada

David Rheault

I can tell you that I'm often on Air Canada's website, and it always opens for me in French because of my computer settings. But we'll look into that.

5:20 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Denis Paradis

I just wanted to draw your attention to it, in passing.

I'd also like to thank you for being with us today and answering our questions. The House will recess for the summer in the next few days, but we'll definitely be discussing the matter amongst ourselves. If we need to meet with you again, we'll set a date for September or October. The committee members may have further questions or comments. Please know that the committee was delighted to have you and may need to meet with you again. Until such time, thanks again.

We're going to break for two or three minutes and resume the meeting in camera. I would ask all those who are not members or members' assistants to kindly leave the room. We will then move in camera for five minutes to discuss a few motions.

Mr. Choquette, you may go ahead.

5:25 p.m.

NDP

François Choquette NDP Drummond, QC

Mr. Chair, I wanted to check something with you and the committee.

At the beginning of the session, we were in the habit of discussing committee business in public, unless we were discussing something confidential and preferred to talk about it in camera. The motions we are going to discuss, both the Conservatives' motion and the NDP's, are good motions, and the Liberals will probably introduce other very good motions. I recall that, when we were discussing Mr. Samson's motion, we did so in public. I don't see what we would have to hide, so I can't see any reason for discussing the two motions in camera.

5:25 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Denis Paradis

I was asked that they be dealt with in camera.

5:25 p.m.

NDP

François Choquette NDP Drummond, QC

I call for a recorded division on the motion that the committee move in camera.

5:25 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Denis Paradis

Very well. The clerk will proceed with the recorded division.

(Motion agreed to: yeas 5; nays 4)

5:25 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Denis Paradis

Thank you.

We will now take a quick break.
