Thank you.
Colleagues on the committee, I won't read the entire motion. I think you have it front of you there. The purpose of this was to simply clarify what I thought we had discussed at committee here about calling a deputation to hear the issue about the internal turnover problem in the public service.
When we ended up at the committee of the whole I thought our discussion was fairly broad and inclusive with regard to the number of different groups we needed or wanted to hear from. Yet we obviously see on our schedule that the only thing we have, period, is from PSAC, and I don't think that was the original intent. We definitely want to hear from PSAC, but there were other groups, as included and stated in the motion here, that we felt it was important to also hear from so we would have a well-rounded group to represent the issue from all sides and all perspectives.
That is the intent of the motion. The timing, as is suggested there, is simply an option put forward for consideration based on the approval and the direction of the committee as a whole here.
