Mr. Chair, before we continue with the regular business of this committee, I understand that there was a reference to committee that is particularly important, and therefore the opposition would like to give notice of motion:
That, pursuant to Standing Order 111.1(1), and subject to the order of reference of May 28, 2014, the Committee undertake a study of no fewer than 4 meetings to examine all matters regarding the proposed appointment of Daniel Therrien as Privacy Commissioner of Canada, that the Committee invite Daniel Therrien to appear, and that the Committee report its findings and recommendations to the House.
I have two other notices which I think are important:
That the Committee invite the former Privacy Commissioner of Canada, Jennifer Stoddart, and the Interim Privacy Commissioner of Canada, Chantal Bernier, to assist the Committee in its study of the proposed appointment of Daniel Therrien as Privacy Commissioner of Canada. That, the Committee invite legal and constitutional experts, and other experts in the protection of privacy, to provide testimony regarding the proposed appointment of Daniel Therrien as Privacy Commissioner of Canada.
Whenever we get a reference to committee of this nature, it is crucial that the committee study it.
Thank you very much.
