That's fantastic. We are good to have an informal meeting.

Is it the will of the committee that the clerk be authorized to make the necessary hospitality arrangements for an informal meeting with the Armenian parliamentary delegation? We have to try, first of all, to get resources. That's very important, I know, for both Andréanne and Dominique specifically, so we can all be part of this. Is it the will of the committee that, if everything's a go, we go ahead and authorize the clerk to make the arrangements? Do I see support for that?

(Motion agreed to)

The Chair Conservative Karen Vecchio

We're going to go ahead, then. With your authorization, I will work with the clerk and we will find a date and time and try to find something that works for at least the greatest majority of us.

Finally, we will be meeting again next Monday, October 24, to resume the study of mental health of young women and girls.

Do I see adjournment for today's meeting?

5:20 p.m.

Some hon. members

Agreed.

Sorry, I just have a question. We were given a motion. What is going to happen with that?

The Chair Conservative Karen Vecchio

That motion is just sitting there. It's been tabled. It's just sitting there among all of our other motions. When we come to discussing what we want to do for our next studies, it will be up to the membership of the committee how we want to move forward.
