Madam Chair, we reviewed the documents. We ensured that they were appropriately reviewed and we determined that the classifications were appropriate to them. Ultimately, it was our assessment that those documents were cabinet confidences.

All right; then I will draw our meeting to an end.

I want to let you know that I have heard from our very diligent clerk, André, who has informed me that they've looked at the schedule. If we were to hold a one-hour briefing on May 13, we could have two draft reports to study in the second hour. We will definitely make changes to the calendar to reflect that.

Mr. Longfield, do you have a question?
