Good afternoon, everyone. We are going to start our meeting.
I want to change the agenda just briefly; we have a little bit of committee business to do. We have a motion to deal with the steering committee report. I want to get it out of the way now, so that in the event some members have flights to catch, we won't be compromising them at the end of the meeting.
Leif, did we circulate that motion? I don't have a copy of it.
Do you guys have a copy of the motion in front of you...? Bear with me, colleagues.
The steering committee met on Tuesday. I want to thank Mr. Harris for filling in as chair for last Thursday's meeting and for Tuesday's meeting on my behalf while I was travelling.
While we're waiting for the circulation of the report from the subcommittee, I shall read it: your subcommittee met on Tuesday, October 30...to consider the business of the committee and agreed to make the following resolution:
That, on Thursday, November 20, 2012, the Committee resume consideration of a draft report on Maintaining the Readiness of the Canadian Forces, and that members submit further recommendations to the draft report to the clerk no later than Thursday, November 1....
That's today.
Can I have someone move that report?
Thank you, Mr. Strahl.
Is there any discussion?
Mr. McKay.
