Thank you, Chair, and thank you, colleagues, for unanimous consent. It's a very short notice of motion and I read it as follows:
That the Committee invite the Auditor General of Canada to appear before the committee to discuss his report on Search and Rescue Activities found in Chapter 7 of the Spring 2013 Report of the Auditor General of Canada.
I think is pretty self-explanatory. The report was fairly comprehensive. It is an issue and we would have an interest in many aspects of it. We're not doing a study on search and rescue as such, we would have other studies available, but I think we've always wanted to be able to deal with things as they come forward. This is clearly in the public eye.
The Auditor General has brought it to the attention of Parliament and said it's one of the three most important issues of the 11 chapters in his book. I would urge us to ask the Auditor General to come for one meeting and that we have a two-hour meeting with the Auditor General as soon as that can be fitted into the schedule. I'm not suggesting a date at this point.
