Thank you, Madam Chair.
Good afternoon, Mr. Mayrand. I am very pleased to welcome you and the members of your team to the meeting today.
I have two important questions for you. The first relates to the powers of the Prime Minister once people have been elected. As I understand it—and I do not have the specific clause in front of me—the Prime Minister has the option of choosing new senators from the list of those elected or selecting people who are not on the list.
Am I mistaken about that?
