I'll have to run to catch up with this fellow. That's exactly what I was going to raise on behalf of the minister. He is ready, at the will of the committee, to come in. We know when our time is blocked, so any time we want to bring him in he'd be happy to come.

Our next meeting is scheduled for Monday. Is it the pleasure of the committee to have the department and the minister here for the supplementary estimates?

Some hon. members
Agreed.

Everybody is in favour, so we'll ask the clerk to try to arrange that with the department and with the minister's office.
We'll leave that to the schedule, and if there's a feeling after that that more information is needed in the department, then we can make that decision on the Monday regarding the next meeting. And of course we'll save some time at the end of that meeting for a future schedule as well.
Mr. Stoffer.

I did it not to pile up your work more, but sometimes it's appropriate to tell major organizations who our committee members are. That's a quick note or an e-mail to the Royal Canadian Legion, the NCVA, to let them know who the chairperson is, the vice-chairs, as well as the committee members, so those organizations have a good understanding of who's now on their committee, because this committee is fairly new. It's only been around since 2006, technically, on its own.

That's a good idea, Mr. Stoffer. I think the clerk probably has quite a robust list, and we'll make sure that all those who are stakeholders will be notified.
