Now that we're in such a convivial mood, I would like to ask the clerk--and this has to do with the impaired driving study--if we've had a witness decline or been unable to make it.

For Monday, Madam Clerk?
I don't know the answer to that, Mr. Norlock.

Thank you.
She said yes. Then may I respectfully request that the committee consider a stand-in. As we studied impaired driving I didn't see on the witness list anyone who can attest to the physiological effects of different levels of alcohol.
For the edification of people, since we're studying impaired driving as a whole and this person is employed as a toxicologist by the Centre of Forensic Sciences in the province of Ontario and has been a toxicologist for 10 years, she indicates that upon speaking to the clerk, she would be able to attend before this committee at short notice. I think it would behoove us to at least have some scientific evidence along with a lot of the other evidence.

Normally the list of witnesses would be approved at steering committee. Since there's been a withdrawal and a suggested inclusion of someone else, I don't see any reason why that wouldn't happen.
Is anybody against the proposition? No? It's a wonderful idea?

Is there any other business before the committee? No.
