Thank you, Chair.
Obviously we understand that Monsieur Berthold is interested in transparency. I would hope, from what parliamentary secretary Martinez Ferrada has said about the type of consultation that is going on with the public about Lac-Mégantic, that there is going to be a lot of information available to the community going forward, and the timeline referenced in this motion.... I've been on many committees now—

A point of order, Mr. Chair.
At the moment, an alarm is going off where the interpreters are located. Everyone is wondering what to do. Perhaps we should suspend for a few minutes.

Thank you, Mr. Berthold.
Mr. Clerk, can you give us an update on what's happening in the House right now?
5:45 p.m.
The Clerk of the Committee Mr. Michael MacPherson
I'm waiting, as you are, to see what the alarm is for. I would suggest—
5:45 p.m.
The Clerk
No. We normally all receive a message on our emergency messaging system, so it should pop up on all of our devices, although normally, if there is an alarm, we would expect everyone to vacate the building.

I will suspend the meeting until further notice.
Members, keep in mind we have a time of 6:04 to adjourn the meeting. I will let you know that in advance. It's because of the resources available to us, or the lack thereof.
I will suspend for a few moments to see what the outcome is in the House.

The Chair Liberal Vance Badawey
All right, folks, I will reconvene this meeting.
I'll start off with three comments. The first one is to say this: Mr. Bachrach, thank you for bringing this study forward. Obviously, this study is going to have to continue with the next two meetings in the fall months. Of course, for that, the clerk will prep us to make sure we're ready for the first of the two meetings in the fall.
Second, I want to say, members, as this is our last meeting of the session before rising for the summer, have a wonderful, wonderful summer. Take some time with your families. Get some rest. Please, please enjoy it.
Finally, have a great evening.
I will adjourn this meeting. Thank you.
