Government Operations Committee on April 1st, 2008

[Charlie Angus, NDP, Timmins—James Bay, ON]

That's perfectly fine with me.

[The Chair, Liberal, Diane Marleau]

Do you mean we'll miss the final portion of that sentence?

[Charlie Angus, NDP, Timmins—James Bay, ON]

Yes. We'll take out “and therefore cannot be considered a response to his recommendations”.

[The Chair, Liberal, Diane Marleau]

If everybody is in accord, we'll remove that portion as well.

We'll go to Mr. Albrecht and then Mr. Holland, if they have anything more to add.

[Harold Albrecht, Conservative, Kitchener—Conestoga, ON]

Thank you, Madam Chair.

Just for clarification, if I understand Mr. Angus' intent here, it's that this committee do the study. The preamble here recommends that the government--

[The Chair, Liberal, Diane Marleau]

It is for the government; it's not meant for the committee to study it.

[Harold Albrecht, Conservative, Kitchener—Conestoga, ON]

I want Mr. Angus to clarify it. So after this is passed, there'll be no further action by this committee.

[The Chair, Liberal, Diane Marleau]

That's correct.

[Charlie Angus, NDP, Timmins—James Bay, ON]

This is the result of our meeting. We're presenting the government with our findings.

[The Chair, Liberal, Diane Marleau]

Mr. Holland.

[Mark Holland, Liberal, Ajax—Pickering, ON]

I'm good.

[The Chair, Liberal, Diane Marleau]

All those in favour of this motion as amended?

(Motion as amended agreed to [See Minutes of Proceedings])

[The Chair, Liberal, Diane Marleau]

Shall I report this to the House?

[Some hon. member]

Agreed.

[The Chair, Liberal, Diane Marleau]

Is there any further business?

[Diane Bourgeois, Bloc, Terrebonne—Blainville, QC]

Could the clerk give us an update on our schedule?

[The Chair, Liberal, Diane Marleau]

Certainly. On Thursday, Mr. Fortier will be appearing before us to discuss the Main Estimates.

[Diane Bourgeois, Bloc, Terrebonne—Blainville, QC]

Excellent.

[The Chair, Liberal, Diane Marleau]

Our analyst has prepared a report on the compensation delivery system, which he will hand round to members. We will deal with that on Tuesday. Then we have the...

main estimates, Privy Council, with Christine Miles, Public Appointments Commission Secretariat, and Christiane Ouimet, commissioner, Public Sector Integrity Canada. That's on the Thursday.

All business being concluded, thank you very much. The meeting is adjourned.
