Public Accounts committee  Could you lower the sound on your earpiece? It seems to be creating an echo with the microphone. Thank you.

Public Accounts committee  Yes. I apologize. I just want to inform members that with regard to the motion I sent you on Tuesday, there are slight differences from the motion that was read into the record. I would like to know if you want me to send you the motion as read by Mr. McCauley, with the French translation.

Public Accounts committee  I may have to go back to the evidence. Mr. Genuis might like to read it again, or I can go back to the evidence and draft the motion.

Public Accounts committee  We just voted to not adjourn the debate on that motion. We'll continue the debate on that motion, so the motion first brought by Mr. Genuis is the motion before the floor. Now Mr. Genuis seems to have found a compromise among the members of the committee to have that debate adjourned to another time or meeting.

Public Accounts committee  It's difficult to say in the case of departmental officials. Obviously, it depends on their availability. You mustn't forget that we always summon the persons responsible for the audits, and these are always deputy ministers who have a packed diary. With two days notice, it's sometimes difficult.
