Can I move—subject to discussion—that the balance of the Conservative witness list be approved?
4:15 p.m.
Conservative
The Chair Conservative Rob Moore
The balance of the Conservative witness list is on page 1. It goes up to number 21 on page 2. Mr. Calandra would like to move that these witnesses be invited.
Is it the will of the committee to invite these witnesses?
4:15 p.m.
Conservative
The Chair Conservative Rob Moore
The way we left off was that Mr. Calandra was moving the remainder of the Conservative witnesses.
Is there any discussion?
Is it the will of the committee that the clerk invite these Conservative witnesses?
4:15 p.m.
Some hon. members
Agreed.

The Chair Conservative Rob Moore
Okay, then, we will invite the rest of the Conservative witnesses.
Does anyone else want to propose or move any of the other witnesses who are on the pending list?
Mr. Dubé.

With regard to some of the ones from us that were pending, we can remove number 114.
I am referring to the Société des professeurs d'histoire du Québec.
I thought we pretty much settled that situation last time.
On the rest of them, I don't know if the few sleeps in between have given any wisdom or anything, or if there's been a change of heart on the other side, but there seems to be some hesitation about them.
I move that we adopt the rest of those witnesses, except for 114.

And number 109; Ethel-Blondin Andrew is a former parliamentarian as well, so....

There is also number 108. No one in particular asked to hear from those witnesses, but they are the representatives of Pointe-à-Callière. We heard from them before and they were fine witnesses.
4:20 p.m.
Conservative
The Chair Conservative Rob Moore
Madame Boutin-Sweet would like to add 108 to that.
Let's first deal with the original proposal by Mr. Dubé.
Is there any discussion?
Is it the will of the committee to invite...?
Mr. Calandra.

Conservative
Paul Calandra Conservative Oak Ridges—Markham, ON
I'm sorry; I know we're not at 108, but we'll support 108—not 110, 111, 112, or 113.
4:20 p.m.
Conservative
The Chair Conservative Rob Moore
Okay. Mr. Calandra is saying that they would....
Is it the will of the committee to invite witness number 108?
4:20 p.m.
Some hon. members
Agreed.
4:20 p.m.
Conservative
The Chair Conservative Rob Moore
The clerk will invite witness 108.
Mr. Calandra has indicated that he doesn't want to invite witness 110, 111, 112, or 113.
Do we want to have a vote on that, or...?
4:20 p.m.
Conservative
Paul Calandra Conservative Oak Ridges—Markham, ON
Chair, I don't mind leaving 113 off for now. We can maybe get back to her a little bit later on. We can put her in the pending list for future.
But as for 110, 111, and 112, no, we would not support those.
4:20 p.m.
Conservative
Paul Calandra Conservative Oak Ridges—Markham, ON
She's also on the future list, because she's a former parliamentarian.
