The Chair Liberal Diane Marleau

When you're on the business of the committee, which is what we're doing now, you don't need to give notice for a motion.

This particular nomination was referred to us by the government, so it is part of the business of the committee. Whether you want us to speak with her or not, we can have a motion or we can just agree to have her come when we have a slot open. She was the Clerk of the Privy Council for many years; she's very well known. I forget where she was up until recently.

I can't tell you any more than that; I don't know.

Yes, Mr. Warkentin.

I don't think there's anything problematic about having her before us.

I just hadn't seen it, so I was unaware of it.

Well, we can make the decision on Thursday if we wish.

The Chair Liberal Diane Marleau

That's fine, so we'll do that.

Are there any other topics for the business of the committee?

I just remind you that Minister Fortier is coming before the committee on Thursday, and it will be televised.

Thank you.

The meeting is over.
