Thank you to all.

I found today's testimony and questions very enlightening, honestly.

I'm sorry, Mr. Chair, I have to disagree on your ruling on that because on the orders of the day it's written that at 10:40 we would go into committee business. We still have five minutes.

I've cut everyone back here. It's going to take a little longer on our committee business because we have to do a break to go in camera. It's going to take longer than five minutes to deal with committee business, so we've had to adjust.

That's why I've cut everyone back so that Mr. Scarpaleggia would get his full time. Otherwise Mr. Scarpaleggia would probably have been out of time.

We're going to be doing some travelling, and I know we have some more questions. I'd like to sit down with a cup of coffee with all three of you because I don't know that I agree with everything, and I haven't had a chance to question you myself.

But to Mr. Blais, I wonder if you would send us a little information. You talked about the four points, for example, increased judicial requirements and compensation. Union-generational divides was the one I didn't get a lot on. I'm not sure exactly what you meant. We don't have time to deal with it now, but if there is any way you could send us a little more on what you meant on that, certainly as the chair I would appreciate it.

Chief Jean-Michel Blais

Certainly, there is no problem. I have my notes, actually, which are a bit more complete than what I said. I'll have them sent to you.

The Chair Conservative Kevin Sorenson

Thank you very much.

To all three, I thank you.

We are going to suspend.

Committee, don't leave. I would ask those who aren't part of an in camera meeting to leave as quickly as possible, and we'll come back in 30 seconds.
