It will not happen between now and St. Patrick's Day. The next point is that the periodic report for the committee's work from September to December is due and the secretariat hopes to circulate its work on that electronically tomorrow to the members of committee. For people watching proceedings, that will not be a report of the Committee of Public Accounts that any committee member has an input on. Rather, it is the secretariat's summation of the work to date. That draft working document from the secretariat will be circulated tomorrow and we need to have a special meeting to discuss that which does not interfere with our Thursday meeting. The only available slot is next Tuesday at 11 a.m. It will take a second reading after that. We definitely have to publish that before we break for St. Patrick's week. We are telling everyone to get their reports in on time. This report runs to the end of December and we are not going away in March without our report on last year's activity completed. I ask committee members to pencil that in. I ask members to try to read the report when they get it.
