The Chair Liberal John McKay

The RCMP and the other provinces have yet to agree that a defibrillator should be part of the vehicle.

5:25 p.m.

Supt Jamie Solesme

That is my understanding.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal John McKay

Thank you. That's helpful.

Colleagues, that brings us to the end of our witnesses. It's my intention on Thursday to set aside an hour, in camera, to discuss the motion and whether we concur in the motion or whether we concur with recommendations or a report. If you have thoughts on making additions to the motion as it's set forth, I'd appreciate it if you would contact the clerk so that the clerk can have some material going forward and we can have a full and fruitful discussion.

Mr. Motz.

I wonder whether there would be unanimous consent to move the subcommittee meeting to 3:30.

I have a commitment at five o'clock that I have to be at. Mr. Paul-Hus is gone and I don't want to miss the subcommittee. I can get someone to help on that last hour or whatever time we need. I don't know how long the subcommittee will last, but if it's possible—

5:30 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal John McKay

That's a problem. We don't know how long the subcommittee will last because we are discussing future business and we do have to set the agenda for the committee for the time going forward.

Maybe you can get Mr. Eglinski.

5:30 p.m.

Conservative

Glen Motz Conservative Medicine Hat—Cardston—Warner, AB

We could, but—

5:30 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal John McKay

I'd like to help you out. I'm sure colleagues would like to help you out, but you're essentially flipping 3:30.

5:30 p.m.

Conservative

Glen Motz Conservative Medicine Hat—Cardston—Warner, AB

Yes. We're just flipping the subcommittee. There are no witnesses being called, so we won't have to change that around. It's just a matter of when we have the discussions.

5:30 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal John McKay

However, then the main committee would be meeting after the subcommittee. That would be the problem. That would be a bit awkward.

5:30 p.m.

Conservative

Glen Motz Conservative Medicine Hat—Cardston—Warner, AB

Let's just hurry up and get through the first one quickly so we can be done by five o'clock.

5:30 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal John McKay

Sure. Less talk is better.

5:30 p.m.

Conservative

Glen Motz Conservative Medicine Hat—Cardston—Warner, AB

Sometimes.

5:30 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal John McKay

All right, sometimes....

5:30 p.m.

Conservative

Glen Motz Conservative Medicine Hat—Cardston—Warner, AB

It's not necessary to be said, but it's necessary enough to say it.

5:30 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal John McKay

You used to say that when you were a police officer. You don't seem to say it anymore.

With that, I would like to thank all three of you for your service and your testimony here.

The meeting is adjourned.
