Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Now that we've finished playing “Who's on first?”, I think we can get to the substantive motion.
My motion, which I think has been circulated in both languages, reads as follows:
That the committee, as a result of the Auditor General's report into Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL) submitted to the Minister of Natural Resources in September 2007, December 2002 and November 1996: develop terms of reference for an independent investigation into AECL and the relationship between AECL and Natural Resources Canada; and, that the terms of reference be set to include determining whether the current or previous Ministers of Natural Resources Canada, or their staff, inappropriately interfered with AECL; and, what actions this or previous Ministers took over the past ten years to address problems identified by the Auditor General or by any internal reviews that may have been completed; and, that the investigation be completed by an Officer of Parliament or by an independent eminent Canadian approved by this committee; and, that this committee report terms of reference for an investigation to Parliament within two weeks.
