Correct me, Clerk. Can I come back for that?

I'm being told that because other committees didn't meet this afternoon, we might be able to extend it, Chair. I know we have to go to votes.

The Chair Liberal John McKay

Right now the meeting will be adjourned, and unfortunately I will call the meeting for next Wednesday regardless, and table both the Levesque report and the Bastarache report tomorrow.

If we can come back and we do have time and we can do it, the clerk will send out a notice.

Damien Kurek Conservative Battle River—Crowfoot, AB

Sorry, Mr. Clerk—did you say Wednesday or next Wednesday? I just want to be clear.

The Chair Liberal John McKay

It's next Wednesday. There are two days.

I apologize again, Madam Commissioner. You can appreciate more than most that we are in difficult circumstances.

I can't suspend. I'll have to adjourn, and if there's an in camera portion, we'll recall...call another meeting.

With that, we're done. Thank you again, and my apologies.
