Can we make that two different letters, Brian? Do you mind? It's just that they're two entirely different focuses.

Well, okay. If that's what it takes to get your vote, Brian, I'll do it.

The Chair Liberal Shawn Murphy
Can I get your attention, please? It has been pointed out by the clerk that we don't have quorum.
What I'd like to do is take these two issues back to the very first of the next meeting. I agree with them, by the way. I certainly support them.
The other option, of course--and you can think about this--is that we're going to try to get a steering committee next week. We could invite the deputy minister for a very short meeting to firm up some of these issues that are still very much dangling after two hours and so many minutes. So why don't we put them both on the agenda for when we come back?
Before we adjourn, I want to make a couple of announcements. One is that one of the legal opinions we were waiting for is being circulated now. People have that, and that will be coming forward.
Also, on Monday afternoon we have an informal briefing session on the two chapters that we'll be talking about next week. Of course the first one is the Canadian Revenue Agency, on Tuesday, on debt collection. The second one will be on Thursday. We're going to go for a three-hour meeting, the first two hours of which will be taken up with Public Works and Government Services Canada dealing with government leasing, and the last hour will be with Margaret Bloodworth, James Judd, and somebody from Public Works and Government Services Canada. That's the hour from 1 to 2 o'clock next Thursday, a week from today.
So those were just announcements. There's nothing else.
Again, I want to thank you, Mrs. Fraser and officials, and Madame Gosselin and Mr. LeBlanc and officials, for coming here today.
Thank you very much. The meeting is adjourned.
