It's continuous improvement.

What I would say, then, is that the motion you prepared, Ms. Damoff, as well as all of the motions that people submit, will go to the clerk and she will issue all of those on March 3 so that you can all see them and have time to take a look at them. There's certainly an opportunity for you guys to get together, collaborate, and try to put any additional information into one that you would bring on the eighth, which will be the meeting where we'll talk about this, and then the tenth will be the meeting where we have members back to review the actual estimates.

Mr. Arya, welcome.

I have just a quick note for information only on the gender-based analysis. I am part of the public accounts committee. We just decided today that we are going to do an in-depth study on the same subject.

The Chair Conservative Marilyn Gladu

Excellent. I'll tap the gavel here for you. That's excellent.

At this time, I'd like to call on Alex Smith, who is going to give us a presentation. Alex has requested, because he is a staff member who is bringing information here, that we go in camera. Is there support to do that?

Mrs. Vecchio.

Karen Vecchio Conservative Elgin—Middlesex—London, ON

I think it is as we've discussed. If the witness wishes to go in camera, that is his prerogative and this committee should support that.

The Chair Conservative Marilyn Gladu

All right? Let's go in camera. We will suspend while we do that.
