I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting 68 of the Standing House of Commons Committee for Public Accounts.
I'm just going to update everyone on where we are with several motions and then tell you about some news I have regarding the discussion we had last week.
You will recall that in the last meeting we adjourned debate on Mr. Genuis's motion that was amended by Mr. Desjarlais with respect to three witnesses related to the Trudeau Foundation. I am going to address this in a second.
There are also two other motions. One is on notice from Mr. McCauley with respect to funding from the Government of Canada and an alleged police facility operated by Beijing. There's also a second motion from Mr. McCauley with respect to CRA documents related to the Trudeau Foundation that the committee is deliberating on requesting. There's an amendment to that motion.
We can discuss those in a few minutes.
Mr. Genuis, you can put your hand down. I see you.
First of all, I'm pleased to report that, since our last conversation, Mel Cappe, Edward Johnson and the Right Honourable David Johnston have all agreed to appear. I'm going to try to schedule them for June 15. They're not all available for this on Thursday and, given that responses have been coming in this morning, that's perhaps too soon for some of them as well.
Don't answer me yet because I'm just going to address our meeting that is a week from today, where we have some officials coming in to also discuss the Trudeau Foundation. They're generally accepting that invitation as well. We seem to be on track for next Monday's meeting with federal officials with respect to the Trudeau Foundation. I'm going to work hard to have the three we were discussing in the end of next week on Thursday.
There's other committee business that I need to line up before the end of the year. I'd like to have the law clerk in to discuss the drafting of the COVID-19 vaccine review that we did. If required, I might do that in subcommittee because I do want to help my analysts out. If I do it in subcommittee, none of you can put a motion forward and send me off in another direction, so that's my backup plan for the analysts so they have that done for the summer. That's the only item that the analysts require.
For those of you who are touring the Centre Block tomorrow, that is on. I know that is optional. I have done that recently, so I'm not going to be there, but it is worth doing. It is interesting to see the interior of the Centre Block.
That is my update.
Mr. Genuis, you have the floor, please.
