It has been proposed that we receive the Parliamentary Budget Officer to address the budget of the library. Just before the meeting, I spoke with the analysts and wondered whether it might be appropriate to invite the parliamentary librarian to come and talk about the studies that should be done. The idea is that we can find out what the researchers at the library need. There has been talk, I think, of a study called Parliament 2020, which was started but has not been completed. This study could be continued if it still meets a need.

I therefore propose that the librarian appear before us and that the research needs be identified.

12:35 p.m.

The Joint Chair Hon. Lucie Moncion

It is therefore proposed that we invite the librarian to come and talk to us about the predicted needs and any other questions we may wish to ask.
