Liberal

The Chair Liberal Judy Sgro

What are the wishes of the committee? Ms. Duncan has made a request to allow another member of Parliament to attend.

5:35 p.m.

Conservative

Luc Berthold Conservative Mégantic—L'Érable, QC

Personally, I don't think it's necessary. We can't invite everybody. While we're at it, I could also invite colleagues from Quebec who would like to attend. It's really all about this committee's study. I think it should be limited to committee members.

5:35 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Judy Sgro

I think we will leave it at that, if those are the feelings of the committee.

We have our own committee to go forward with, as others do. We do have translation or interpretation.

5:35 p.m.

NDP

Linda Duncan NDP Edmonton Strathcona, AB

Why would we do interpretation at the site? I don't see how it's going to be possible. We're not going to have head gear on. There's going to be a lot that will go missing if we're going to do this expeditiously.

5:35 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Judy Sgro

Mr. Chaplin.

5:35 p.m.

The Clerk

We have portable headsets. The interpreters will be equipped with boom microphones and headsets, and they will do simultaneous interpretation.

5:35 p.m.

NDP

Linda Duncan NDP Edmonton Strathcona, AB

Okay.

5:35 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Judy Sgro

All this technology, we'll try. All right.

One last thing. Would you like a draft copy of our report tomorrow?

5:35 p.m.

NDP

Linda Duncan NDP Edmonton Strathcona, AB

Yes, please.

5:35 p.m.

The Chair Liberal Judy Sgro

Ms. Duncan, thank you very much for submitting your seven-page document. I think it was helpful and useful.

Is everyone good? Okay.

The meeting is adjourned.
