Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Given that this motion was circulated, do I need to read it, or is everyone all right with the written version that was circulated?
Shall I read it, then? It states:
That the Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates (the “Standing Committee”) (i) request that an appropriate official from Industry Canada appear before the Standing Committee for the first thirty minutes of the meeting of the Standing Committee on Tuesday May 12, 2009 so as to provide the Standing Committee with an update of the expenditure of stimulus funds by Industry Canada pursuant to Budget 2009 and Treasury Board Vote 35 of the Main Estimates for 2009-2010; and (ii) request that an appropriate official from Human Resources and Services Development Canada (“HRSDC”) appear before the Standing Committee for the first thirty minutes of the meeting of the Standing Committee on Tuesday May 26, 2009 so as to provide the Standing Committee with an update of the expenditure of stimulus funds by HRSDC pursuant to Budget 2009 and Treasury Board Vote 35 of the Main Estimates for 2009-2010.
