ROUTINE PROCEEDINGS — The Senate

Honourable senators, I give notice that, at the next sitting of the Senate, I will move:

That a Special Senate Committee on Canada-United States Trade be appointed to examine the evolving Canada-United States trade relationship, including its regional and sectoral impacts on businesses, workers and communities in Canada;

That the committee be composed of nine members, to be nominated by the Committee of Selection, and that four members constitute a quorum;

That the committee have the power to send for persons, papers and records, to hear witnesses and to publish such papers and evidence from day to day as may be ordered by the committee; and

That the committee be empowered to report from time to time, provided that it submits interim reports to the Senate at least twice in each calendar year.
