I think that's moved by Mr. Zimmer.
Any questions?
(Motion agreed to)
The next motion is in regard to travel, accommodation, and living expenses of witnesses: that if requested, reasonable travel, accommodation, and living expenses be reimbursed to witnesses, not exceeding two representatives per organization, and that in exceptional circumstances, payment for more representatives be made at the discretion of the chair.
Any discussion?
That is moved by Mr. Dreeshen.
(Motion agreed to)
Next is in camera meetings: that unless otherwise ordered, each committee member be allowed to be accompanied by one staff person at an in camera meeting. In addition, each party shall be permitted to have one party staff member attend in camera meetings.
That is moved by Mr. Hoback.
Any discussion?
(Motion agreed to)
The next motion is in regard to transcripts of in camera meetings: that one copy of the transcript of each in camera meeting be kept in the committee clerk's office for consultation by members of the committee or by their staff.
That is moved by Mr. Payne.
Any discussion?
(Motion agreed to)
The next one pertains to notices of motion: that a notice of 48 hours, interpreted as two nights—that's the same as two sleeps, I guess, is it?—be required before a member may move a substantive motion, unless it deals directly with the matter before the committee at this time, provided that: (a) this notice be emailed to the committee clerk no later than 4 p.m. from Monday to Friday; (b) that the notice be distributed by email to members in both official languages by the clerk on the same day the said notice was transmitted if it was received no later than the deadline hour; (c) that notices received after the deadline hour be deemed to have been received during the next business day; and (d) that this rule does not prevent a member from giving notice of a motion orally during a meeting of the committee, in which case notice shall be deemed to have been given before the deadline that day.
Now, how does that work when our committee goes to 5:30 and the notice is to be emailed to committee no later than 4 o'clock? Does oral supercede the 4 o'clock?
