Procedure and House Affairs committee  For the members of Parliament who don't belong to recognized parties, for amendments they've submitted, during clause-by-clause they would be given a short period of time at the discretion of the chair to present their amendments, but for the amendments presented by members belonging to a recognized caucus, they would not be able to participate in the debate, necessarily.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  No. We're in Room 430.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Yes. We have to get it back from translation, but I expect it back very shortly.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Mr. Turmel and Brian Marlatt are the two who said they'd be back.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  I can say that people in my office have been assisting me, and we've reached out to almost everyone on the witness lists that were submitted. They were all offered an opportunity to appear on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday of this week. There was never any mention of additional meetings, so on the responses that we got back, we did not ask people to specify whether they would be interested in appearing at a later date.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Facebook was supposed to come Thursday afternoon.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Twitter gets to respond officially. The email we sent them said the deadline to respond was noon tomorrow.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  We're still taking emails and processing responses, but I can say that on Thursday we have a full slate of witnesses. The notice of meeting went out for tomorrow's meeting as well and it's also relatively full.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  I have yet to hear back from Twitter, but I've had a couple of exchanges with Facebook.
