Declaration of Emergency Committee on June 21st, 2022

[The Joint Chair, Bloc, Rhéal Fortin]

Actually, we're not meeting the standards right now. Our proceedings are not being televised, when they are supposed to be. Also, some members of this committee are attending with Zoom.

Everything you're saying makes sense, but the only thing we can do is ask our whips to see if a room, clerks and interpreters are available tomorrow afternoon after Question Period. That's the best we can do. If not, we'll have to talk again over the summer to set up a meeting in the fall. For now, there's nothing more I can do.

[Arif Virani, Liberal, Parkdale—High Park, ON]

I was going to intervene.

I would be more minded to have a comprehensive meeting when we can more properly arrange it. I'm conscious of the fact that all of the House leaders from the various parties, I believe, are working hard to get through a lot on the legislative agenda tomorrow.

I'm being advised that House resources are going to be in short supply tomorrow. It would seem a bit overly ambitious to attempt to do it tomorrow.

[The Joint Chair, Bloc, Rhéal Fortin]

I know some of us don't want to go on vacation. I have a lawn that needs mowing at my house, if you really want to work.

Mr. Motz, you have the floor.

[Glen Motz, Conservative, Medicine Hat—Cardston—Warner, AB]

Thank you.

Given that information from Arif, I would suggest that if we have any time today, we could talk about what the fall looks like as far as this supermeeting that Matthew speaks of. Do we have some dates that we can close in on to discuss what that is with everybody? At least we can start planning our calendars then.

[The Joint Chair, Bloc, Rhéal Fortin]

We cannot have a debate, Mr. Motz. We're having an informal discussion, and we're not in a meeting. Some participants can't even hear what we're saying.

The clerks may be able to suggest things for the fall, but we're not in a debate right now.

The meeting is adjourned.
