The Chair Conservative Kelly McCauley

Everyone, thank you for your patience. I really appreciate that everyone is working together for this.

I think we have a solution. I will read it, and this will be on Mrs. Vignola's subamendment. We will just need UC to accept these changes.

Under the paragraph that starts with “First step”, we'll say, “but within twenty-one days of the adoption of this Order and with such accessibility accommodations the witnesses may request, to be agreed upon by the committee and the Chair agrees to arrange”.

This is understanding, of course, that the committee can move in camera and back in public at any time they want.

Where it starts under “Second step” in paragraph (a), with “the Sergeant at Arms shall take”, etc., in the second line it will say, “for the purposes of enforcing their attendance before the Committee in public at dates and times determined by the Chair of the Committee”.

Are we fine with that?

Great.

Do I have UC on that?

Agreed.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Kelly McCauley

Perfect.

We now have to vote on Mrs. Vignola's subamendment, as we just discussed.

Do we need a vote, or are we fine adopting...?

I see agreement to adopt.

(Subamendment agreed to [See Minutes of Proceedings])

(Amendment agreed to [See Minutes of Proceedings])

That's done.

We are now into discussing Mr. Genuis' original amendment, which I understand he will withdraw if we can have UC—if Mr. Genuis agrees.

He agrees.

Can we have UC to withdraw Mr. Genuis' original amendment?

4:10 p.m.

Some hon. members

Agreed.

4:10 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Kelly McCauley

(Amendment withdrawn)

Perfect.

We will now vote on the motion as amended.

Can we just agree or...?

I see thumbs up all around.

(Motion as amended agreed to [See Minutes of Proceedings])

It is so adopted.

Colleagues, thank you very much. Lots of very good points were brought up by all sides. I will state that I sincerely appreciate the work of our clerk, who is dealing with us for a couple more days.

Unless there's something else, we will adjourn.

Garnett Genuis Conservative Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan, AB

I have a point of order, Chair.

Sometimes there are delays in getting the minutes of the committee. Could you ask the clerk to distribute the correct form of the motion that was adopted by email to members just so we can have the exact text in front of us right away before the minutes are published?

4:15 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Kelly McCauley

He will have it out sometime today in both official languages—before the end of business today, probably. Is that satisfactory?

It is. Wonderful.

Colleagues, thank you again, sincerely.

We are adjourned.
