I too will be supporting this harmless motion.

Earlier I did some number crunching for Mr. Wrzesnewskyj. I would be glad to offer my services to help him use Google after the meeting, if he likes.

The Chair Liberal Shawn Murphy

If he needs help he will certainly contact you.

We'll go back to Mr. Wrzesnewskyj very briefly, and then I'll put the question.

Borys Wrzesnewskyj Liberal Etobicoke Centre, ON

We were quoting from the press in the first two days of this issue, so we'll note that in the press the government was not as forthcoming as they are at the present time. It was only after the backlash that they moved off the position that they would not provide this particular communication. But that's what was reported in the first couple of days.

Before I adjourn, Monsieur Laforest has a point he wants to raise. I believe it has to do with rescheduling the steering committee.

Bloc

Jean-Yves Laforest Bloc Saint-Maurice—Champlain, QC

After the tabling of the report of the Auditor General, the next meeting of the steering committee will be important because it will be held to set our priorities. I would like that the Monday meeting be postponed from noon to 3:30 p.m.

12:55 p.m.

It's okay with me.

Mr. Christopherson, is that okay?

Mr. Sweet is not here, but his assistant is. Subject to Mr. Sweet's availability, we will schedule it for 3:30 on Monday afternoon, if that's okay.

The meeting is adjourned.
