Public Safety committee  There's no such thing. Everyone's in agreement with those three changes....

Public Safety committee  It's been moved that Mr. Calkins be elected acting chair. Are there any other motions?

Public Safety committee  Is it the pleasure of the committee to adopt the motion?

Public Safety committee  I invite Mr. Calkins to take the chair.

Public Safety committee  Honourable members, I see that we have a quorum. We do need to elect a chair. Pursuant to the standing order, I'm ready to receive any motion to that effect. Ms. Damoff.

Public Safety committee  The way it was done, it doesn't show. However, if the committee was to adopt a motion instructing me to reflect that, it could be done.

Public Safety committee  If we want to do a joint sitting....

Public Safety committee  The motion was adopted on March 6, and then we got a lot of legislation that prevented us from starting the study. I can read the motion if you'd like. That, notwithstanding the motion adopted by the Committee on February 25, 2016, and pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), the Committee undertake a study involving no fewer than four (4) and no more than six (6) meetings on the situation of Indigenous inmates and issues with the Release and Re-integration program; that correction officers, Correctional Services of Canada, the Corrections Investigator of Canada, former inmates, members and elders from First Nations, parole officers, academics and content experts be invited as witnesses; that the Committee prepare a report with particular consideration to Indigenous offenders continuing to be released more frequently at statutory release than non-Indigenous offenders and to the reasons most Indigenous offenders did not complete correctional programs before becoming eligible for parole, to resource issues, to access to mental health services; that the Committee make recommendations; that the evidence received by the Committee as part of the briefing on the Annual Report 2014-2015 and 2015-2016 of the Office of the Correctional Investigator be deemed adduced to the Committee’s study and; that the Committee report its findings to the House.

Public Safety committee  It's been moved by Mr. MacKenzie that Mr. Paul-Hus be elected as first vice-chair. Are there any further motions? (Motion agreed to)

Public Safety committee  We will proceed to the election of the first vice-chair. Pursuant to Standing Order 106(2), the first vice-chair must be a member of the official opposition. Are there any nominations? Mr. MacKenzie.

Public Safety committee  Honourable members of the committee, I see a quorum. We can now proceed to the election of the chair. Pursuant to Standing Order 106(2), the chair must be a member of the government party. I am ready to receive motions to that effect. Mr. Spengemann.

Public Safety committee  It has been moved by Mr. Spengemann that Mr. John McKay be elected as chair of the committee. Are there any further motions? (Motion agreed to) I declare Mr. McKay duly elected and invite him to take the chair.

Public Safety committee  I declare Mr. Paul-Hus duly elected as first vice-chair of the committee.

Public Safety committee  As much as possible, when documents are given to me in advance, they'll be available on your iPad, but since they need to be scanned, if witnesses show up with paper, we'll just make copies and distribute those to the members. Then after the meeting they'll be transferred to the iPad.

Public Safety committee  Yes.
