I'm going to start by discussing my notice of motion from last time. A motion is pending. I am going to ask that it be heard at the next meeting, on April 1.
Part A of the motion reads: “That the committee calls upon the Minister of Public Safety to table forthwith the Strategic Review document referred to by CSC officials on March 25, 2010, during their testimony before the committee”.
I would ask that part B be heard on Thursday, April 1, at our next meeting. It reads as follows. We ask: “That the Minister of Public Safety refrain from taking any steps to sell, dismantle, or reduce operations at any of Canada's prison farms in any way until independent experts have had an opportunity to fully review the value of the farm program and duly report in writing to both the Minister of Public Safety and the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security”.
I am moving that the motion be debated and dealt with at the next meeting.
