That's just notice; that's not for deliberation or debate or a vote. It's an issue that we're going to leave in the clerk's hands to work on for a further 48 hours. If it cannot be resolved, we'll have to deliberate on the possibility of issuing a summons to these individuals.
The next item to come before the committee is the motion from Madame Faille. I believe everyone has it.
That by Wednesday, May 13, 2009, the Department of Public Works and Government Services be required to deposit the audiocassettes requested at the meeting on March 24, 2009, in relation to the Committee's study of Chapter 3, Contracting for Professional Services - Public Works and Government Services Canada of the December 2008 Report of the Auditor General of Canada.
This has been with us for a while. We moved it. We want those. We were supposed to have Public Works and Government Services Canada, but two months after getting this they tell us they're not going to release it based on privacy concerns. It was my view at the last meeting that it's not an issue in this case. To be cautious, and with all due respect to the officials from Public Works, we've asked the parliamentary counsel to come here and give the committee his opinion on the merits of that excuse. Then we can deal with the motion.
Mr. Tardi, please.
