The make-up of the committees may well have changed when we come back. If our group, as it is presently constituted, now wants to visit the anglophone community in Quebec and the francophones outside Quebec by going to Mr. Samson's constituency, I think we should make a decision about it.

We could also deal with that matter in a small, select group that would be made up of one Conservative, Mr. Choquette, and a representative from the Liberals. We could all get together and try to come up with some dates to propose to you. I don't know what you think about that.

So it would be Mr. Choquette, Ms. Lapointe, Mr. Nater and myself. We will get together outside a committee meeting and we will try to find dates for the two trips away.

Four your information, at tomorrow's meeting, each minister will have about seven and a half minutes to give a presentation. In other words, we are going to divide the 15 minute period in two and give them seven and a half minutes each. That will be followed by a question and answer period.

Also, as I mentioned earlier, I would like you to stay for a moment at the end of the meeting to deal with the matter of the motions.

Thank you very much.

Meeting adjourned.
