If you don't want to have it as evidence for that, then maybe we could just circulate his brief to the committee.

I'm not sure, exactly. Maybe the clerk can speak to why we're doing this.
The Clerk
He wanted to appear before the committee and wasn't able to, but he submitted a brief. That's the brief he was supposed to present and read at the committee. I circulated it. He was wondering if it could just be inserted into the evidence of the committee as read.
It is a practice that's been done before. There's a way to do it, and the proper way to do it is to adopt this motion. Then I deal with the publications directorate, which means that the evidence that is published on the web will have this included in it.
If the committee wishes, though, we could ask him to return to our committee.

For the sake of a man who was coughing up his own blood, I'm going to read that yet again:
That the brief submitted by Lorne McCartney on behalf of ANAVETS, who could not appear at our meeting of December 13 because of an illness, be included in the evidence of that committee meeting.

If that's a motion you're proposing that we deal with, could we say “after committee members have inspected it”?

It could be great or ridiculous, but it would be his testimony. It wouldn't matter whether we read it or not.
