Is everyone in favour of the motion as amended? Any opposed?
(Motion as amended agreed to [See Minutes of Proceedings])
Okay, that motion carries.
Just so we're aware of the fact, any recommendations or suggested amendments here have to be translated into both official languages before this goes over to finance, and it has to be there before 5:00 p.m. I would alert the clerk that we need some fairly quick work after the Tuesday meeting, and that will be possible.
If that's what the committee wants, that's what the--

They'll have plenty of time, so never mind. I thought we were on the same....
All right, we clarified that point. That's good. I don't think we need to revisit it.

Kellie Leitch Conservative Simcoe—Grey, ON
Since we're discussing only a small number of items with respect to the Canada Labour Code, I suggest that we have officials come for an hour, and then we would have the second hour available....

Are the Canada Pension Plan amendments not being referred to us? Where are they going?

The Canada Labour Code amendments are what you put forward.

I know that's what I put forward, but I just wondered if you knew where the Canada Pension Plan amendments were going.

Kellie Leitch Conservative Simcoe—Grey, ON
I thought those were in a previous budget. The ones that you referred to are part of the Canada Labour Code.

Mike Sullivan NDP York South—Weston, ON
The ones going to finance are, I understand, about the Canada Labour Code. You don't know about the Canada Pension Plan, though?

Could you tell me when you would need a list of potential witnesses for the Tuesday meeting?

Conservative
The Chair Conservative Ed Komarnicki
The proposal was that we get department officials and not have witnesses other than those two or three from the department.
Now there are one or two other final pieces of business.
I have distributed letters from the president of the Chamber of Commerce, who wished to host a meeting between the board of directors of the Chamber of Commerce and our members. The dates they're suggesting are December 2 to December 4, and they'd like us to co-host a reception on Parliament Hill with members of their board's executive and our committee on Monday, December 3, from 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. I'd like to have my office reply, or the clerk perhaps, and arrange for that reception. It seems reasonable, and they've done it with other committees.
Are there any objections?

Mike Sullivan NDP York South—Weston, ON
Is this the Ottawa Chamber of Commerce? Which chamber of commerce is it? I didn't get the letter.
10:15 a.m.
Conservative
The Chair Conservative Ed Komarnicki
This would be the Canadian Chamber of Commerce.
It's probably not a bad idea. It's another thing to do, but it will be worthwhile, I'm sure. I know my office has contacted them just to indicate that we're not in a position to say yet, so perhaps my office and you could connect and make sure the arrangements are done.
Finally, you would have received this just yesterday, so it may be too soon for us to discuss it and we may do it at another meeting. It's the names of applicants for the Centennial Flame award.
Does the committee wish to have more time to consider those applications? I think it would be fair for us to do that. We can deal with it when an opportunity opens up in one of our next meetings. This is just so you know they're out there and we will have to make a decision. Will you alert us when we're getting close to the end date on that?
Is there anything else I need to deal with?
The meeting is adjourned.
