[English]

The Chair (Mr. David Christopherson (Hamilton Centre, NDP)):
     I call this 23rd meeting of the Standing Committee on Public Accounts to order.
The Chair:
    Mr. Saxton, hang on one moment before I go to you.
    There is one thing I want to do. In addition to deciding what we're going to do, because we're losing more time again--by the way, happy new year.
    Now let's get back to work.
    One of the things we desperately need to do is set a permanent steering committee meeting. It's been difficult, and I am mostly to blame because my schedule was so erratic last time, but hopefully we can come to an agreement on a regular meeting date so that we can actually be ahead of the curve. It's been pretty messy, shall we say, so far. Hopefully things will be a little more streamlined.
    This is a committee business meeting, so the floor is open. I had recognized Mr. Saxton.
    Mr. Saxton, you have the floor.
Mr. Andrew Saxton:
    Thank you, Mr. Chair.
    I'd also like to take this opportunity to wish everybody a happy new year. Bonne année , and all the best for the coming 2012.
    Also, as is customary when we discuss committee business, I would like to move that we go in camera at this time.
The Chair:
    The motion is in order. It's not debatable.
    All those in favour of going in camera, please indicate.
    Some hon. members: Agreed.
    The Chair: We'll pause for 20 seconds and go in camera.
    [Proceedings continue in camera]
