No, the funding for the administration was shared at that time with the plan and the RCMP's operating budget.

All right. So when the decision was made to employ Morneau Sobeco, why would it have been so difficult to go through a proper tendering competition if they were the best? What would have been so difficult about that?
D/Commr Kevin Mole
I can't speak to that issue. I wasn't involved in that process at that time.

I asked Mr. Crupi that very question, and he told me it would have taken too long.

At the beginning of the meeting you requested a vote to accept minutes from a steering committee meeting. That has not previously happened. I assumed that these were straightforward. I did not have a copy of the minutes at that time.
There's a witness list for the ATIP, and it doesn't match the witness list of names that I requested. Without getting into a list of people, and what list had been suggested previously inside debate regarding this issue, perhaps we can address that in a congenial, collegial manner at the steering committee.
I just want to point out that the names do not match.

The Chair Liberal Shawn Murphy
We thought we did. We'll deal with that at the steering committee. Why don't we deal with it tomorrow?

Mr. Chairman, on that same issue, there is an item on the back of this we should have had some discussion about, but we would need to be in camera.
Looking at the time, we're very restricted. Could we discuss the item that's on the back of this in camera at the beginning of our next meeting?
