And then, of course, I would report to the House.
Seeing no further questions from committee members, Monsieur Mayrand, I want to thank you very much for coming out this morning, spending time with us, and answering the questions of the members. You were very detailed and very thorough, and we certainly appreciate that.
Colleagues, I also want to thank you for significant and substantive questions.
I don't like to use the word “dismiss”, but I am able to dismiss the witness, although “excuse” is probably a better word. Thank you.
You are excused, Monsieur Mayrand.
Colleagues, I will just ask, by a show of nods, if we are in fact ready for a motion on the ratification of the witness. I'm seeing some nods, so I will put the motion forward if that's okay. I will read the motion in English, and perhaps Lucile can read it in French if that's necessary:
That the nomination of Marc Mayrand as Chief Electoral Officer of Canada be concurred in and that the Chair report such to the House.
We'll read it in French as well.
