We're coming out of suspension.
Before I give the floor to Mr. Bélanger, I just wanted to indicate to members of the committee that they have three documents in front of them that the clerk has distributed.
The first document is the calendar for our committee from now until the Christmas pause. It outlines all the witnesses who have been invited, and that will give members some idea of what we're going to be doing over the next five weeks. The first meeting after we get back from the pause I'll dedicate to committee business so that members of the committee can give me direction as to how they want to plan the January, February, March timeframe. But you have a calendar in front of you now for the rest of this calendar year and that will help guide our discussions.
The other two documents are a notice of motion from Mr. Bélanger and a notice of motion from Jacques Gourde. I just want to draw to the attention of members of the committee that the motions are the same. If the committee rejects the first motion that Mr. Bélanger will move, the second motion will be ruled out of order by the chair because the committee has already made its decision on that matter.
So I give the floor to Mr. Bélanger.
