We are all present. Do you see any problem with devoting at least an hour to the main estimates?

The Chair Conservative Merv Tweed
No, I have no trouble. I just need to have it on the schedule, so that I can notify the witnesses who need to be here.
The committee makes that decision, not me.
Mr. Jean.

Could we schedule an extra hour on Wednesday to deal with it? I'd be more than happy to do so. Then if we don't need the hour, we don't need it, and if we do need the hour, then we're there.

Could we ask to get the information by Monday, so we would have a chance to read it and be prepared for May 28? We won't discuss it on the 28th, but could you ask that it be made available to us on the 28th? Then we will have the time to prepare for Wednesday.

So based on what I've heard, we will book three hours on Wednesday, May 30. During the first two, we'll deal with C-6 clause-by-clause, and during the third hour we will deal with estimates with departmental officials.

Mauril Bélanger Liberal Ottawa—Vanier, ON
It looks like what will happen is that they're going to have votes, and that's not going to work either. So they'll want to deal with that on the 28th.

If we have the information then, we can determine it then.

For a matter of record, Mr. Chair, if there's more information that people would like to receive on the estimates, please ask for it through my office well before the 28th, and we'll try to get that done.

Thank you, Mr. Jean.
Seeing no further business, I declare this meeting adjourned.
Thank you, everyone, and have a great weekend and holiday break.
