I would like to propose a friendly amendment to Mr. Béranger. I understand what you are saying but, in a pinch, we can always invite them to appear before the committee again.
We would also like Mr. Yvan Lebel, the president of the Conseil des écoles fransaskoises, to appear at the same committee meeting. I understand your apprehension, but we can invite them again to another session.
My amendment would replace the expression "the request … to appear" with the expression "the request … that both appear". So the motion would read as follows:
That the committee accepts the request of Mr. Jean Malavoy, General Secretary of the Table de concertation du livre franco-ontarien, and the request of Mr. Yvan LeBel, President of the Conseil des écoles fransaskoises, to appear before the committee, and that both appear on December 13, 2011.
