Mr. Chair, before we begin, the clerk received a notice of motion from us. A little while ago, in the House of Commons, I brought up the fact that we had received new information that could be very useful to the committee. The information comes to us from the former chief actuary. We submitted a notice of motion to the clerk that reads as follows:
That the study of the clause by clause of Bill C-56 be postponed in order to hear the previous chief actuary to the employment insurance commission, Michel Bédard.
Immediately after hearing from our friends here today at the committee meeting, we hope to hear from Mr. Bédard, which would not delay our proceedings very much. Right after that, we could continue with our clause-by-clause study of the bill. That is my proposal.
