Madam Chair, this motion is very much in order and I will be supporting it. However, when will we be meeting with these individuals?
The motion would “[...] invite the Deputy Ministers [...] (Finance, Justice, Human Resource, Immigration and Treasury Board)[...] That means five people in total. I think it's essential that we meet with these individuals to see what their ministries are doing in terms of gender-based analysis.
According to our meeting schedule, on October 5, Ms. Oda will be here to discuss reports 1 through 3. We could also put the question to Ms. Oda at that time.
As I understand the motion, we've extended an invitation to the deputy ministers. Given our agenda, I would have amended the motion, adding the following: “immediately at the start of the 2007 winter session.”
Unless you have a solution, I'm open to everything and anything.
