I know that's not Mr. Brown.

Right.
There's one more item we could deal with at this point, and that is whether we would like the steering committee to suggest to us future business of the committee and have a meeting of that steering committee.
Yes, Mr. Comartin.

I was going to suggest, Mr. Chair, that the steering committee probably should be meeting before the end of the week, if that's at all possible, to determine what future business can be recommended to the full committee. It would be just a short half-hour meeting.

The Chair Conservative Garry Breitkreuz
Sure. I presume the steering committee consists of me, you, Ms. Kadis, and someone from the Bloc. The Bloc would have to choose somebody--you, Mr. Ménard? Okay, and there would be somebody from this side.
At what time would you suggest we meet? The suggestion is that the clerk could contact the members' offices.
Is there anything else? Yes.

As for the scheduling, Mr. Chair, I have a family funeral that I'm likely to go to on Wednesday, so I would probably not be here at the meeting or available for the subcommittee meeting either.

Is there anybody you could get to fill in for you who might be knowledgeable on these subjects? It would be appreciated.

Actually, my whip has offered to fill in for me on Wednesday, so it may very well be Mr. Godin.

The Finnish delegation is coming on Monday. Yes, thank you for reminding me. They would like to meet with us as well. I don't see the note here regarding whether that would be an informal meeting as well.
Are we willing to meet with them on Monday? We can maybe deal with that right now. They will be in town for two days, May 8 and 9. It would be a similar routine to what we just agreed to on the visit from the Czech Republic. The Finnish parliamentary legal affairs committee is asking to meet with us. Does anybody have any feelings on that?

Are there any other issues to deal with at this point?
I appreciate your cooperation. I will therefore adjourn the meeting to the call of the chair.
