On the 26th of May.

Do I hear no dissenting voices? Then the clerk will set this up. That's agreed.

Good. Thank you.

Now, what do we have here as time?

It's 17:33. We have this budget I want to take next week, Tuesday. I only need you to say yea. We have made the budget as we said. I think you all have it with you.

Actually, instead of the two trips we talked about, we broke off Maniwaki as one trip, because it's cheaper if we do Maniwaki as one trip--it will cost us $2,500--than if we attach it to Brantford, Quebec City, and Montreal, because that would add a night in a hotel, which would mean more money.

I don't know if you've looked at this, but basically we have a total cost of $157,635 for the first half of our committee.

Paul Calandra Conservative Oak Ridges—Markham, ON

Since many of us are in Toronto, to come to Ottawa and then fly back to Brantford seems to make very little sense to me.

5:30 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry

Remember, it is not the full committee travelling. We will figure it out, because we've already decided we will travel and we've already decided to split the travel, etc.

So that's it. Is there a motion to adjourn?

5:30 p.m.

Conservative

Lois Brown Conservative Newmarket—Aurora, ON

I so move.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry

Thank you, Ms. Brown.

The meeting is adjourned.
