Thank you, Chair, and thank you to Mr. Barrett for his motion.
There was a question posed to the clerk. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you mentioned that we would get the answer from the clerk at some point during this meeting about what the committee can and can't do in terms of recommendations and basically what the role or mandate of the committee is.
As a new member of the committee, I would ask if we can get that answer. If I can ask for it now, I'd like to have that answer now. I would like to know, as a new member of the committee, what the mandate of this committee is.
