The Chair Conservative Rob Anders

Maybe the benefit of a bus is that we'll know nobody gets lost. That alone has value. That alone may be worth $400. Is there any more discussion on the $400 or any of that?

The travel request is amended by Mr. Stoffer to include a wreath. All those in favour?

(Amendment agreed to)

5:15 p.m.

The Chair Conservative Rob Anders

There is a question of whether or not we consider this for an official date of June 12. Is the committee copacetic with it being June 12?

Is this going to be part of our regular meeting?

5:15 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Rob Anders

Yes, it will take place during regular committee time on June 12. We already have witnesses scheduled for June 10, so June 12 it is.

Everybody is in favour?

(Motion as amended agreed to)

5:15 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Rob Anders

I think that's it for official business.

The meeting is adjourned.
