Mr. Speaker, members can imagine waking up one morning in beautiful British Columbia. The sun is out. The birds are chirping.

One of the other committees I'm on has worked on a bit of a plan of things that it wants to get done before the summer break. Is that something that is done on most committees and that we have any interest in doing here?
