Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I put a motion on notice, Mr. Chair, with regard to the order that was referred to our committee by the House of Commons. It is in regard to the process for document redaction.
I know there was some interest in potentially having the law clerk appear before our committee to go through whether there are adequate resources, etc.
For discussion, I move:
That in relation to the study referred to the Committee by the House on October 26, 2020, the committee hold a meeting on or no later than—
—and I'm flexible on the date; we could say, “within the next week”—
in which the committee would invite the Law Clerk to appear for one hour in camera, and hold one hour of committees business.
Again, I'm open to amendment of that motion, but I know there was some interest from committee members on ensuring adequate resourcing of the law clerk prior to the end of the document order period that was in the motion that was referred from the House.
