If I can interject again, if you don't mind, since we have no pre-determined adjournment, it would be an hour. It could be less, it could be more. It depends on how many questions come from this committee. So when witnesses approach the table—and I'll have to deal with that in a moment, how we get them here—you can ask questions until the sun goes down.
They are not here restricted to one hour. They're not here for a full hour. It all depends on the committee members and their questions.
Are we in agreement then that if the amendment passes, we will request the deputy minister plus the associate and assistant deputy ministers to approach the table? We will need agreement from this entire committee for that, if the motion passes, followed by the two leaders of the public service unions.
Are we all clear on that?
Then on the amendment, all in favour? All opposed?
(Amendment agreed to)
The main motion, all in favour?
(Motion as amended agreed to)
Now we will deal with this immediately, but we will need agreement. Even though the motion has passed, we have not actually made a formal request for those officials to come forward.
Madam Ratansi, committee members, will you all agree to my calling the senior officials from the public service forward?
