Citizenship and Immigration committee  Sir, I sent a request by e-mail last Wednesday, following the meeting of the subcommittee on agenda and procedure. The response to it has been that the minister can neither appear next Wednesday, the 6th, nor Monday the 11th. The request asked that if neither of those dates was feasible an alternate be proposed, and I've heard nothing back from the department on the idea of an alternate—

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I received a letter addressed to Mr. Doyle this morning from the department to the effect that—

Citizenship and Immigration committee  —given that the matter is before the court, they're asking the committee to postpone any hearing on the safe third country until after the matter before the court has been concluded.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I did not contact her.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  We should be going in camera.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  That would be your daughter.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Two and a half minutes.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I need to confirm that I have the right wording from Mr. Telegdi.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Yes.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Yes.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  No, it's because—

Citizenship and Immigration committee  —there have been changes to the membership of the committee. The agreement of that previous committee, in the previous session, doesn't bind this committee, and it is normal that the new members would get a chance give their input.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  The committee has heard the terms of the motion. Is it the pleasure of the committee to adopt the motion? (Motion agreed to)

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Mr. Carrier has moved that Monsieur St-Cyr be elected second vice-chair of the committee.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  The position of vice-chair is currently vacant. I am prepared to hear motions on that subject. Mr. Carrier.
