We're on the same page now, good. Thanks, Sylvie.
So we've dealt with that, because we do not have the information. We'll have to deal with Madame Demers' motion when we get back from our break week.
I also wanted to let you know the Deputy Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development is coming along later today.
Regarding our request for the Deputy Minister of Finance to appear, we have heard that neither the Deputy Minister of Finance nor the Minister of Finance will be able to present to this committee, because they will both be away. One, the Minister of Finance, will be away from March 31 until later today; and the Deputy Minister of Finance will be away from March 27 until May 4. So neither of them would fit into the timelines of debate. So we could not get that department to participate.
This is just housekeeping, guys. If you will recall, we had a request from a Vietnamese delegation to meet with us. That request has been cancelled by the Vietnamese delegation. But we do have a request from a delegation of eight to ten people from Serbia, who are doing a study tour aimed at strengthening the legislative-making process of their gender equality directorate. They wanted to come to Canada to hear how we go about doing that and what it is that we do. The note to meet with these particular people indicates it isn't a compulsory meeting. So you don't have to turn up, but it is really nice, and it's a courtesy when visiting delegations from other countries come to find out about our committee's work, if as many of you as possible turn up and have a discussion with them. They will be in Ottawa Tuesday, May 26. We would like to know who would like to meet with them, and we can set a place for that meeting. Just let the clerk know what you would like to do.
I also wanted to wish a very happy birthday to Madame Deschamps.
