The Chair (Mr. Clifford Lincoln (Lac-Saint-Louis, Lib.)): Would you please give us five minutes—there's a motion to be passed before reference to the House—if you don't mind, so that we have a quorum?
First of all, I would like to thank members for their support. I appreciate it very much. Je remercie tout le monde pour leur appui. I will continue to try to reach consensus in all that we do. I think the committee has been very harmonious and all parties have worked very well together, and this is what I would strive for in the future. Thank you very much.
This being a business meeting, as usual we are going to go in camera. We had a discussion beforehand.
