Before I dismiss you, we do have homework for you. One is to make sure you send the clerk the response to Mr. Watson's question. You were also asked to provide information on the cost of administration of petitions. You were also asked, and I think you said you would provide it to the committee, for a little more information on who the trustee is on ecoTrust or the department that is in charge. And to follow up on Mr. Woodworth's question on stuff not in the report on severe weather warnings, where there were some gaps in getting out information, if you could provide that in writing, we'd really appreciate it.
I thank you, Commissioner and Mr. Maxwell, for joining us. It was a very full and informative conversation. I'll look forward to seeing you again in the future. Thank you very much.
If you guys can clear the table, we'll go right to motions. We have 20 minutes. Before we jump into the motion on the issue of witnesses, just for clarification, I'm going to Marleau and Montpetit, page 860 in chapter 20, about witness selection:
A committee may wish to hear testimony from private individuals, representatives of groups, or public officials concerning the matter which it is studying. Witness selection may be carried out in a number of different ways. Normally, witnesses are proposed by individual committee members. The committee may also invite potential witnesses to indicate their interest in appearing. The selection is often delegated to the Sub-committee on Procedure and Agenda....
So there are a number of different ways witnesses can be called. I wanted to throw that out before we jumped into the motion.
With that, Mr. Scarpaleggia, if you could put your motion on the table....
