So I'm off the hook. Thank you. I just want to make sure I'm fulfilling my duties.

Absolutely, sir. You're very diligent that way.
Do we have any other questions from committee members at all?

If I may, I'll point out that because I can't meet the group Sunday night, I'll be arriving at the meetings at nine-ish Monday morning. A previous engagement doesn't allow me to get to Vancouver for the charter, but I've arranged all the flights with the help of the staff.

Bev Shipley Conservative Lambton—Kent—Middlesex, ON
I am just taking a look through the itinerary, and I have a question about dress. When I have been on some, there have been witnesses in the morning, and then we toured in the afternoon, so we had to wear a suit and all that sort of stuff. I'm not seeing that here.
I am just asking, to be respectful of the people we're seeing, whether it is casual. Do we need to bring a suit or a sport jacket and tie?

The Chair Conservative Rob Anders
There is a specific answer, Mr. Shipley: business casual, no jeans.
I would assume if we were travelling as an ad hoc committee, with actual tables set up and witnesses appearing and that type of thing, you'd probably be best to be in a suit and tie. But since we haven't structured anything as much as that, I would say business casual.
But there you are: we have a ruling on “no jeans”.
Mr. Stoffer.

Mr. Chair, if you would be kind enough to look at the page that says Thursday, February 14, I think you will see that there is a typographical error here—not that I would ever accuse Kate of anything wrong.

Page 9. It talks about transportation to Goose Bay, but I think they mean to Shearwater.

It is to Shearwater. I sent out a revised e-mail, but unfortunately it was already printed in this before I headed over here with it. You have all received an e-mail recently with the revised itinerary. I apologize.

Just to give the logistics officers a heads-up, when we're in Shearwater I'll be at home, so I won't need a place at Shearwater.

All right.
Are there any other questions about the itinerary? No? Then thank you very much.

Is the flight out of Ottawa not charter, but just a commercial flight?

You refer to the flight out of Ottawa to where?

Yes, that's commercial.

That's right, to go to Comox.
