Order, please.
Welcome to meeting 36 of the Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics. Our order of the day, under Access to Information Act reform, is a continuation of our consideration of the response of the Minister of Justice to our report on quick fixes to the Access to Information Act.
In discussion of the matter, we have a specific motion, presented at the meeting, by Mr. Pat Martin, who was sitting in on the day. It is still on the table.
Colleagues, as you know, we can only have one motion on the floor at a time, so we're going to deal with that one first.
Under committee business, we also have two other motions. One, somewhat related, is Mr. Poilievre's motion. We also have a motion from Mr. Del Mastro. Both have been given the necessary notice. They will be dealt with once we conclude our work on the government response and anything that would come up directly in relation--I want to stress, again, directly in relation--to the reference of dealing with the response from the minister.
I think all colleagues have a copy of the letter from the minister that was received yesterday. The date on the letter was November 4. We have that one nailed down.
Interestingly enough, I notice that this one has a stamped date. That's probably why the other one didn't have a date on it— it's not actually typed on the letter; it's a stamp. That probably is the reason why we didn't see that.
October 9 is the date it actually appeared on our web and was tabled in the House.
I would like to ask members if there are any observations, comments, or questions about the minister's latest letter.
Madame Freeman.
