Liberal

The Chair Liberal Rob Oliphant

We're way over time on your side, but I will give you time to finish that. Just before you do, I'm going to suggest to the committee that we've come to the end of that full round.

Rather than starting with Liberals for seven minutes and then cutting off the Conservatives, I'm going to suggest that we end after Ms. Kwan, begin a fresh round at the beginning of the next meeting, and have a full hour at that time. Is that okay with everybody?

12:50 p.m.

Some hon. members

Agreed.

The Chair Liberal Rob Oliphant

We have guests coming from France, from the French Parliament. Those of you who can stay, can stay.

We're way over time, but I will let you finish that thought.

12:50 p.m.

NDP

Jenny Kwan NDP Vancouver East, BC

I will just clarify the request. Thank you, Mr. Chair, for allowing me to do that.

The information I'm looking for would be the acceptance rates or the rejection rates of each of the members and the Federal Court decisions on those rejected cases that have been accepted by the Federal Court. Then, I would also like a list of numbers associated with the complaints made against that member and the number of those complaints that are in fact valid complaints.

That will give us a full picture of these appointments and the lay of the land on how things are going.

12:50 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Rob Oliphant

Thank you very much.

Just as a reminder, we propose having the minister here for supplementary estimates (C) on Monday, March 19. You will be getting a notice.

We will be extending an invitation to our witnesses to come back on Tuesday, March 20, for an hour. There will be no more statements, but we will have a full round of questioning then. We'll have our other witnesses come in for the second hour.

The next day, we will probably need another half meeting just to give you a heads up, because we have witnesses whom we have already started to look at. We have a full roster of witnesses as well.

We will see you. As for those of you who can stay to meet the delegation from the French Parliament, it will be great to have you here.

Thank you to our witnesses.

Now you know what to look forward to in a couple of weeks.

This meeting is adjourned.
