Mr. Chair, the first two paragraphs—the third being deleted by the first amendment—are the preamble to the actual motion itself. The motion is that we study the situations that seemed to be instances where the Treasury Board guidelines were violated—I'm not exactly sure of the terminology—but we're dealing here with government administration and Treasury Board guidelines. That's what the motion actually says, and I can't imagine why we'd bring Hugh MacPhie and Sara Beth Mintz here to tell us about Treasury Board guidelines.
Also, Mr. Chairman, as I said, the Minister of Finance has apologized as well.
Therefore, I would move, Mr. Chairman, that the reference to Mr. Flaherty, the Minister of Finance, Mr. Hugh MacPhie, and Sara Beth Mintz also be removed, and that we bring in Mr. Wayne Wouters, the Secretary of the Treasury Board, to explain what's going on here.
