I'd like to put forward a friendly amendment, that we change the word “eliminate” to “phase out”, if that would be acceptable.

The Chair Conservative James Rajotte
Mr. Carrie is proposing that we eliminate the word “eliminate” and put in “phase out”. It would say “the Government of Canada's decision to phase out the position of national science adviser”.

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.
Now, in the study budgets we have two very small items. We just need the committee to approve the two budgets. With respect to the review of Canada's service sector, the amount requested is $28,650. We also have a study of the impact of the appreciating value of the Canadian dollar on the Canadian economy. The amount requested there is $26,500.

Finally, I want to go in camera for just a couple of minutes, so we have to suspend. We will suspend to go in camera.
