As far as Mr. Choquette's motion goes, I am in favour of having Public Services and Procurement Canada representatives appear to discuss the translation bureau. I would prefer that we start with that because I agree we could then wrap up our study on the translation bureau.
But I'm not in favour of inviting Minister Foote to appear right now. Perhaps a better time would be in the fall, once we've submitted our report and received some feedback. Even though deployment of the machine translation tool has been suspended, in the time it takes to review the situation, we should hear from the officials responsible at Public Services and Procurement Canada on the issue. I think we should start by hearing what senior officials have to say on the matter.
So that would be my proposed amendment to the motion.
