Mr. Chairman, if I might have the indulgence of the committee, I would like to propose a motion: That the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development agree to hold public hearings on the supplementary estimates by November 27--my understanding is that they would be adopted after November 29--and that we invite appropriate officials from DFAIT and CIDA to appear before the committee.
Obviously, if we don't deal with them by November 27 they will be deemed adopted. I think it's important that all members of the committee have an opportunity to review the estimates.
