The Committee proceeded to the consideration of matters related to Committee business.
 

It was agreed, — That due to a number of unconfirmed appearances for the meetings on Thursday, October 21 and Tuesday, October 26, that the invited witnesses be re-grouped and/or re-scheduled, and that Bills C-509, An Act to amend the Canada Post Corporation Act (library materials), and Bill C-20, An Act to amend the National Capital Act and other Acts, be scheduled instead if space allows on the agendas for those meetings.
