I thought that we had decided that the meeting with Mr. Rabinovitch would be in camera, and the one with Mr. Lacroix would be televised.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Gary Schellenberger

No, we changed this. It was suggested that way, but we voted that it will be public. It will be televised.

Now we're going to go back in camera.

Mr. Chairman, before we do that, will Monsieur Malo's notice of motion from yesterday be dealt with on Thursday?

12:05 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Gary Schellenberger

To the best of my knowledge, we can put it on the agenda. We can do it first.

Bloc

Luc Malo Bloc Verchères—Les Patriotes, QC

Mr. Chair, this motion is more of a reminder. Hearing from people who have recently been appointed to positions of interest to the committee, like Mr. Michel Roy at Telefilm Canada, is a common practice. Perhaps the motion is not even really necessary, in the sense that all my colleagues around this table recognize the importance of hearing from Mr. Roy in the next few weeks. It is not necessary to make a ruling, or to debate this motion, but we must all agree that we want to hear from Mr. Roy as common practice requires.

Mr. Fast.

Ed Fast Conservative Abbotsford, BC

Mr. Chairman, first of all, I believe Standing Orders 110 and 111 specifically say that he has to be called within 30 days of his appointment being tabled. It's been referred here, so we need to actually make that call.

I believe we're amenable to having that motion dealt with right now, so we can get it out of the way.

12:10 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Gary Schellenberger

Okay, we can deal with it right now.

So Mr. Roy will be called within the next few days to make sure that he appears before us—and that's the consensus around the table?

12:10 p.m.

Some hon. members

Agreed.

The Chair Conservative Gary Schellenberger

Now, are we done with the public part of this meeting?

Okay, as there's no other public business, we will go in camera.
