I call the meeting back to order.
I hope the translation is working now and the issue with the mike has been fixed. Can everyone hear me properly and is the interpretation working for everyone? Okay. That's good.
Before we go to Ms. Kwan, I just have one concern that I would like to share with the committee. I'd like to see the will of the committee with regard to the motion on in camera meetings that was just passed. I will read part of the motion: “That any motion to go in camera should be debatable and amendable”. The Standing Orders consider a motion to go in public or in camera to be a non-debatable motion. This is in standing orders 67(1) and, specifically, 67(2).
As outlined in Bosc and Gagnon, chapter 20, page 1089, it says:
Any member may move a motion to go from sitting in public to sitting in camera (and vice versa). The motion is decided immediately without debate or amendment. In practice, committees often change from one to the other at the suggestion of the Chair, with the implied consent of the members.
Based on this, the motion seems to be out of order. What would be the will of the committee?
Go ahead, Ms. Falk.
