Public Accounts committee  Yes, I believe it's just the members now.

Public Accounts committee  Yes. I received the English version yesterday and I am waiting for the translation. It's on its way. I hope that I will be able to distribute the document by the end of today.

Public Accounts committee  Mr. Lawrence would like to intervene.

Public Accounts committee  Madam Chair?

Public Accounts committee  I just might remind members that I sent an email yesterday asking if they would be amenable to taking the last half-hour of Thursday's meeting to in camera to talk about future business after the Christmas break. I've received a few responses, but not from everyone, so I just won

Public Accounts committee  Mr. Chair, this was at the request of the Auditor General. That's why it's a proposed calendar. If the committee doesn't wish to proceed in this manner, it certainly does not have to. I assume that she felt she had more that she would like to convey to the committee. I don't hav

If everyone is clear on the question, then I would.... Mr.
