Are going to be brought forward—

5 p.m.

Conservative

Joy Smith Conservative Kildonan—St. Paul, MB

—will be brought forward Tuesday. And then Ms. Mathyssen can compare her list with that ten. We're trying to get all the information here.

I've marked this one up, but if someone has a clean copy—I will make sure that this is sent properly.

5 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Yasmin Ratansi

Send it to the clerk.

5:05 p.m.

Conservative

Joy Smith Conservative Kildonan—St. Paul, MB

We'll send it to the clerk's office. You don't want it like this.

5:05 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Yasmin Ratansi

The clerk will distribute it.

Ms. Mathyssen, can we wait until Tuesday, then?

5:05 p.m.

NDP

Irene Mathyssen NDP London—Fanshawe, ON

I'm quite concerned about the time getting away on us. I would prefer to bring forward my motion on Tuesday with the list that is different from what Ms. Smith has brought forward, so we can pursue those that should also be published. It's good work, and I don't want it to be lost.

5:05 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Yasmin Ratansi

So is it agreed to defer for further consideration until Tuesday as soon as Ms. Smith provides us with the updated list? Is it agreed?

5:05 p.m.

NDP

Irene Mathyssen NDP London—Fanshawe, ON

I hope on Tuesday, so we can deal with it on Tuesday.

5:05 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Yasmin Ratansi

Yes. I always consult the clerk so we're not doing something strange. Yes, you can bring your motion, and if any amendments need to be made, we can make them at that time, if you're not satisfied with the list you have.

On Tuesday we are bringing forward the draft copies of the hearings on the changes to the Department of the Status of Women, and they will be distributed next Tuesday. Of course the copies will be identified by each member's name. We are not sending any electronic versions and we're hoping there will be no leaks.

For your information, that is what's going to happen next Tuesday, and you'll be able to take them with you because you need to look at them so you're working on them well.

Thank you.

The meeting is adjourned.
