Thank you, Mr. Chair.
First, I'm sure that our regular chair is listening from home. I understand that he's not well, so we send him our best wishes.
I had a motion on notice that I wanted to move at this time just because of the time-sensitive nature of it. I hope it won't take long, so that we can quickly move to our witnesses. I don't know if we need to have it distributed before.
The motion states:
That the Committee invite the Honourable James Carr, the Minister of Natural Resources, to testify about the Supplementary Estimates (B) on or before December 6, 2016.
Obviously, we are running up against a deadline. That's why I wanted to move it today. We don't have committee business scheduled. We would like to hear him talk about those estimates, and I would welcome unanimous support for that motion from this committee.
