Library of Parliament committee  Do we need a report?

Library of Parliament committee  I am in the capable hands of the chair.

Library of Parliament committee  Madam Chair, I don't believe for a minute that there doesn't exist.... If we can put a man on the moon, somewhere there is a technological answer.

Library of Parliament committee  Madam Chair, I wonder if we as a committee should invite people like the Council of Canadians with Disabilities who on October 30 wrote to Minister Qualtrough about Bill C-81, which is the disabilities act.

Library of Parliament committee  Thank you, Chair, and thanks to our witnesses for being here. I echo the congratulations on all the great work you do.

Library of Parliament committee  I have a question for Senator Mercer. How does this fit with the motion that was in the Senate yesterday related to the budget of the Library of Parliament? Would you elaborate a bit on what you expect the PBO to do?
