Mr. Calandra is asking for unanimous consent. Do you want to repeat that?

Paul Calandra Conservative Oak Ridges—Markham, ON
I move that the committee invite the president of Library and Archives Canada to appear before the committee and inform the members of his vision of the future and mandate of Library and Archives Canada.

The Chair Conservative Rob Moore
There was already notice of that motion, so we can deal with it. Is there unanimous consent?
Is that the same motion that was already distributed, Mr. Calandra? Regardless, if there's unanimous consent, the motion can pass. Is there unanimous consent for the motion, Mr. Simms?
Mr. Nantel wants to move an amendment.

Scott Simms Liberal Bonavista—Gander—Grand Falls—Windsor, NL
I would like to move an amendment as well. That was the point of my interjection. I'm not sure at what point you want to do this. Can we do it at this point?

Mr. Calandra, you're asking for unanimous consent for the motion. Is there unanimous consent for the motion?
We're not in camera now.

We have the minister here. The meeting is going to be over in 30 seconds anyway, but Mr. Simms has asked that we go in camera.

Scott Simms Liberal Bonavista—Gander—Grand Falls—Windsor, NL
If he moves for unanimous consent, am I able to move to go in camera at that point? That's my question.

I have a point of information.
I think the idea is that we are asking for unanimous consent to discuss the motion.
4:25 p.m.
Conservative
The Chair Conservative Rob Moore
Right. Mr. Calandra has asked for unanimous consent, so I'm going to ask if there is unanimous consent for his motion.
4:25 p.m.
Conservative
The Chair Conservative Rob Moore
There is not unanimous consent.
Minister, thank you for coming here for the hour. We appreciate your taking the time to answer our questions, and we appreciate the information you gave us. We look forward to your return visit at some point in the future.
We'll allow the minister to leave, and then we have a few procedural votes to deal with. We'll suspend.

The Chair Conservative Rob Moore
As is the practice, you all have a number of votes in front of you. It's voting on the main estimates 2013-14. I'll quickly go through these, one by one, asking if the vote will carry. This way, I can report back to the House that we've looked at it. If we don't vote on the estimates, they will be deemed reported back unamended anyway. Normally we would want to vote on them. Usually this takes about 30 seconds.
4:30 p.m.
NDP
Pierre Nantel NDP Longueuil—Pierre-Boucher, QC
We feel strongly that
we need more time to study the issue further before we can vote. So we are asking for some additional time.

Okay. We can still vote, though. Do we want to wait on the vote until the next meeting or do we want to just proceed with the vote? It's up to the committee. I need some direction from the committee.

Conservative
The Chair Conservative Rob Moore
Who is in favour of moving to proceed with the vote? Who is opposed?
(Motion agreed to)
Okay. We will proceed with the vote.
