Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Having been on this committee just a short period of time, I think it's a great idea, and I commend Mr. Hoback for it.
I also see that a second motion will soon be before the committee, and it seems to be very consistent with this motion. I don't know why we wouldn't just deal with them as one motion. The first one could be amended to include exactly the recommendations in the second. They're very similar.
Unless anybody, or Mr. Hoback himself, has any opposition to that, I would like to make a friendly amendment to it. It seems it would be consistent to include that.
Does everybody have a copy of the motion? It was sent out a couple of days ago. It deals with the Parliamentary Budget Officer's mandate to provide independent analysis, and that on....
Can I read it into the record, Mr. Chairman?
