I thought this would be an appropriate occasion for us, in dealing with the motion confirming the appointment of the Honourable John Reid, to seize the opportunity to invite Mr. Reid to appear before one of our standing Senate committees in order that we might go through the report and get his reaction to some of the important recommendations and observations of Mr. John Grace.
J'ai pensé que la motion invitant le Sénat à confirmer la nomination de l'honorable John Reid nous donnerait une bonne occasion d'inviter M. Reid à comparaître devant un de nos comités sénatoriaux permanents de sorte que nous puissions examiner le rapport et connaître sa réaction à certaines des recommandations et observations importantes de M. John Grace.
