Thank you, colleagues. That disposes of that item.
At the last meeting of the committee in July, the committee adjourned, but there was one item left. It was the motion of Mr. Scott Reid, member of Parliament, which reads as follows:
That pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and in reference to the current study under way by this committee, that the Committee request that the Chief Electoral Officer appoint an independent investigator to review the allegations of a leak of a planned search of Conservative Party headquarters, and that this investigation include all individuals who were privy to information about the search before the search occurred.
That is the motion before us, moved by Mr. Reid. We had planned to have the debate and vote on it at our last meeting. Unfortunately the committee chose to adjourn, so we are resuming debate on the motion from Mr. Scott Reid, as per the notice of meeting before you.
On debate we have Mr. Del Mastro, Mr. Tilson, and Madame Lavallée.
