In my opinion, the motion on the Parole Board of Canada that was passed in the House two weeks ago should be a priority for the committee, especially since the motion was passed unanimously. We should prioritize this study.

The Chair Liberal John McKay
Certainly, it would supersede other motions. Having said that, we're just trying to organize.

Pierre Paul-Hus Conservative Charlesbourg—Haute-Saint-Charles, QC
Yes, it's just to let you know that's my priority.

The Chair Liberal John McKay
Yes.
We'll have supplementary estimates (B), but can we actually study them now?

Conservative
Pierre Paul-Hus Conservative Charlesbourg—Haute-Saint-Charles, QC
We have supplementary estimates (B).
It could be for next week.

I have a question, Chair.
As far as the potential for bringing different motions here is concerned, does that eliminate the possibility of bringing forward other items that may be coming up in the future?

Conservative
Marc Dalton Conservative Pitt Meadows—Maple Ridge, BC
My concern is the timing. These motions are being brought forward. Does that mean that's the order they're going to come in?

Liberal
The Chair Liberal John McKay
No. We're trying to get some guidance, and we're just trying to organize agendas. We have two meetings to do next week. I'd like to make them productive meetings. From this grouping and others, we will be able to shape some sort of agenda.
Are there any other suggestions as to what we should be doing?

Conservative
Pierre Paul-Hus Conservative Charlesbourg—Haute-Saint-Charles, QC
Could the clerk provide the list of motions that were tabled in the previous Parliament and that we didn't have time to cover? If not, should we find them ourselves and table them again?

For my part, I would like us to resume the study on cybersecurity.
Should we invite the analysts? It's a good idea, is it? They're nice people, are they?

The Chair Liberal John McKay
One of my favourites is right down there.
Please. Should there be a fanfare, Holly? What do we need to get you up here?
We were very fortunate in the last Parliament to have extraordinarily fine analysts, including Holly.
Why don't you two introduce yourselves to the committee and tell us why you have such superior qualifications to be here. Come on, Holly, you're the senior here.

At my age, I can just ignore that.
