Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I am entirely in agreement with the motion submitted by my colleague. I would however like to submit one or perhaps even two amendments. We have to see whether we could agree on a friendly amendment. I would like us to add two specific points. I would like us to ask for a copy of Ms. Ouimet's letter of resignation, as well as a copy of the agreement which may have been concluded between Ms. Ouimet and the Government of Canada. I would also like us to replace the date of February 24, 2011 by that of February 14, 2011 and I would like you to let me explain why.
In the near future Mr. Walsh is going to appear before our committee. We agreed on that this week, Tuesday. I think that we should have the documents before Mr. Walsh's appearance so that we will already have in hand all of the information and can ask Mr. Walsh all of the necessary questions. This would allow us to not have to ask him to appear again because we are missing certain documents. Perhaps the date could be the subject of a friendly amendment. I am going to repeat what I said earlier.
I would like to add: to receive a copy of the letter of resignation and also a copy of any agreement made between Madame Ouimet and the Government of Canada based on the resignation.
