Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Clause 8 is the question of the...different committees or subcommittees have been removed in the submission. We would like to add clause 8.1:
There shall be an Executive Committee of the Commission consisting of the Chairperson, the Chief Executive Officer and three other members to be appointed by the Commission, at least one of whom shall be from the Province of Quebec and at least one of whom shall be from the Province of Ontario.
The reason why we are doing this is the Quebec government is absolutely worried that, whether it be the executive committee or other subcommittees, major decisions could be taken without any participation from any Quebeckers. We've already had an amendment accepted to include...this is the one Mr. Nadeau is interested in, clause 3, which has been postponed. But we would insist that there be an executive committee composed of at least one member for the Province of Quebec and one member for the Province of Ontario. Ideally, we would have other committees, or subcommittees, if you want, and we would make sure that there is one Quebecker on every one of these committees or subcommittees. But for the time being, we would be satisfied with having an executive committee consisting of these different people.
