Subcommittee on Agenda and Procedure Committee on May 10th, 2016

[The Chair, Liberal, Deb Schulte]

Okay, so let's try first for the Pacific Salmon, then as a backup West Coast, because that carries on with the marine issue.

For witnesses for the CEPA study and the climate change study, we need to start putting some names....

Let's tackle CEPA first. We have the 19th. We have the Canadian Consumer Specialty Products Association, and the Canadian Environmental Law Association.

The challenge is we need to start doing the invitations. Does anybody have any problems with May 19 because we need to do—

[The Clerk]

That's already booked.

[The Chair, Liberal, Deb Schulte]

Let's look at the other ones, and if we can start working on the 7th, the 9th, and the 14th, the clerk will be most grateful because it's a lot of work to call these people and try and get them in, and she doesn't want to leave it too late.

Are you okay with what we have there? We've tried to kind of keep them in the buckets again, so there's some focus in the presentations.

If you have any issues, let us know, otherwise we're going to start moving forward on these witnesses, if you're all right with that.

The last one is climate change. We only have the two days, but we've come forward with some ideas on the climate change based on what everybody put together, and Tim and Penny's experience, right?

What do you think about these?

[Nathan Cullen, NDP, Skeena—Bulkley Valley, BC]

We don't have any government witnesses coming in.

[The Chair, Liberal, Deb Schulte]

Yes, I'm noticing that. I would say Pembina probably would be one of the ones we would like to hear from.

Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada was one that we proposed. We should put that in there.

We'll Environment and Climate Change Canada.

Oh yes, a Facebook discussion. The motion we wanted to have on the table was to start looking into doing it. How does everybody feel about Facebook and having a Facebook for our committee? It's a bit different, but times are changing.

[William Amos, Liberal, Pontiac, QC]

Can we have the options presented to us?

[The Chair, Liberal, Deb Schulte]

Sure, that would be great.

You either are or aren't. It's like some people tweet, some people don't.

Okay, so what we're going to do is we're going to move together as a committee to have it investigated and see what needs to be—

Jim, are you okay with that?

[Jim Eglinski, Conservative, Yellowhead, AB]

Yes, a draft proposal brought forward so we can take a look at it.

[The Chair, Liberal, Deb Schulte]

All in favour?

[Some hon. members]

Agreed.

[The Chair, Liberal, Deb Schulte]

Okay, thank you.

The meeting is adjourned.
