I move: "That the subcommittee instruct the clerk to invite the former Minister of Health, the Hon. Tony Clement, to come and testify before the subcommittee stops sitting."

On a point of order, that needs 48 hours' notice, and we'd certainly be glad to consider it after that. So I'd like you to rule that out of order.

I just checked that with the clerk. As it relates to the list, it's not out of order.

I'd just state that I'm in favour of the motion, Mr. Chair. It is a request that was made, as André said, in your office. We also put it on our original list that went to the clerk. Time is running out, and I would express to the minister that he urgently needs to come before this committee. When we're looking at a food safety issue in which he was involved, then I would expect that he would arrive here.

Is there any further discussion?
(Motion agreed to)
The meeting is adjourned till Wednesday.
