All we want is for a parliamentary committee not only to examine the application, but also to give its approval. This amendment would require the government to consider the opinions of the committees. No government appointment should be made against the opinion of a committee.
That moreover is what the Conservative Party said when former Liberal candidate Glen Murray was appointed by Paul Martin to the National Round Table on the Environment and the Economy, contrary to the opinion of a committee of the House.
This amendment should correct the situation.
