Also speaking

Clerk of the Committee  Mr. Michael MacPherson

The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry

Anthony, would you like to respond? If we're speaking to the motion you just brought in, it doesn't say anything about the current president, does it?

Anthony Housefather Liberal Mount Royal, QC

This is an excellent point. This was Peter's motion from last meeting. I think he might want to correct that to name Mr. Bontis now, given Kevin's excellent point.

The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry

Go ahead, Peter.

Peter Julian NDP New Westminster—Burnaby, BC

If Mr. Housefather wanted to move that, I think that would be a clarification of the motion we adopted.

The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry

Would you like to move that, Anthony?

Go ahead and move it. Say it in words, so that we have it clear.

Anthony Housefather Liberal Mount Royal, QC

I move that the committee invite, and if he does not accept, summon, Nick Bontis to appear before it.

The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry

Thank you.

(Motion agreed to [See Minutes of Proceedings])

Does that answer your question, Kevin?

Conservative

Kevin Waugh Conservative Saskatoon—Grasswood, SK

Yes, it does. We could have been caught on a technicality here.

Thank you, Mr. Julian, for giving it to Mr. Housefather, even though I brought it up. I probably should have been the one who moved the motion, but it doesn't matter. It's done.

That's where this look into Canada Soccer has to start, with Mr. Bontis as past president, so well done.

The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry

Thank you.

Peter, is your hand up again, or is it still up?

Peter Julian NDP New Westminster—Burnaby, BC

It's a new “up”. I just wanted to give full credit to Mr. Waugh for having identified that weakness. I think we consider Mr. Waugh the inspiration for the motion we've just adopted.

The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry

Thank you.

Seeing that there is no further business, I want to congratulate the committee on being so co-operative and congenial. It's really nice. Thank you.

With that, I declare the meeting adjourned. We'll see you guys on Monday.
