Listen, as I said, we're not going to have continued debate. I thought I saw consensus around the fact that we can advise the department that they have material that's in their possession that should be sent to this committee forthwith.
As for the very specific items that involve communication with a third party, the committee is prepared to accept that they might not have that until November 19, and we're going to acknowledge that.
So on your behalf, I will communicate that.
I think we end the debate there. Thank you very much.
I have one other item of information. As per our discussion at steering committee, where we were attempting to accommodate the information given to us by another department--this one from, I guess, the defence department, who would not be available to this committee until the 25th, giving us an indication that they might be available in this week--we've not had yet a response from the defence department about the proposal we put to them regarding the schedule of appearance.
I'm going ask Mr. Kramp and Mr. Saxton to engage their good services to get them to respond, because we were trying to structure a timetable that fit their timetable.
Not having yet received information from them about their preparedness to come here now Thursday, we had indicated that what we would do is we would go to what's outstanding business for Thursday--outstanding business being some committee reports.
Mr. Kramp.
