With respect to my colleague Madame Thibault, there are a couple of things that I think we can make friendly amendments to and therefore incorporate both motions. As a base, we'll use the motion presented. Everyone has a copy of the one presented by Madame Thibault. I will make some friendly amendments and suggestions and see what the committee says.
For the first one, where it says “That pursuant to Standing Order 108(3)(c), as unanimously agreed by its members at its meeting of October 5, 2006, the committee hold a second meeting, as planned, examining in detail the budget cuts”, I would like to insert “the $1-billion dollar” before “budget cuts”, so we specifically know what we are alluding to. That would be to specifically speak to the $1 billion in budget cuts that was announced by Treasury Board on September 25, 2006.
Then, where it says “and consequently that senior officials from”, I would insert who we want to attend the meeting. Specifically, that would be David Moloney, senior assistant secretary, expenditure management sector; and Wayne G. Wouters, secretary, Treasury Board Secretariat; Mike Hawkes, chief financial officer, Department of Public Works; and senior officials from the Department of Human Resources and Skills Development. So that would be to substitute the specific names that I presented where they have “officials from”.
