Environment Committee on April 11th, 2024

[The Chair, Liberal, Francis Scarpaleggia]

Where would this go? Would this be an added paragraph at the end?

[Lloyd Longfield, Liberal, Guelph, ON]

Yes.

[The Chair, Liberal, Francis Scarpaleggia]

Can you give us some wording?

[Lloyd Longfield, Liberal, Guelph, ON]

We would study the information we receive for a minimum of three meetings, inviting witnesses.

[The Chair, Liberal, Francis Scarpaleggia]

It would be, “the committee requests Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault and officials to testify on the Liberal government's”.

What if we put a semicolon after May 24?

[Laurel Collins, NDP, Victoria, BC]

Chair, on the amendment—

[Dan Mazier, Conservative, Dauphin—Swan River—Neepawa, MB]

Now, you're [Inaudible—Editor].

[The Chair, Liberal, Francis Scarpaleggia]

I'm not, but Mr. Longfield....

I have you on the list, Ms. Collins. You're next.

[Laurel Collins, NDP, Victoria, BC]

Is it for the amendment or the main motion? I'd like to be on the list for the amendment.

[The Chair, Liberal, Francis Scarpaleggia]

It's for the main motion.

Ms. Pauzé, was your hand up?

[Monique Pauzé, Bloc, Repentigny, QC]

Yes, Mr. Chair.

[The Chair, Liberal, Francis Scarpaleggia]

Is it on the motion or the amendment?

[Monique Pauzé, Bloc, Repentigny, QC]

It's on the amendment.

[The Chair, Liberal, Francis Scarpaleggia]

I see Mr. Leslie has his hand up as well. Is this on the amendment, Mr. Leslie?

[Branden Leslie, Conservative, Portage—Lisgar, MB]

It's for both. I'll talk whenever. Let's go.

[The Chair, Liberal, Francis Scarpaleggia]

Basically, I'm trying to formulate Mr. Longfield's idea here.

My question is for you, Mr. Longfield.

After “May 24, 2024” do we put a semicolon and—

[Lloyd Longfield, Liberal, Guelph, ON]

Before that, we said that we'd conduct a study for three meetings, including an invitation to the minister.

[The Chair, Liberal, Francis Scarpaleggia]

We just need some language here. Do we need 108(1)?

It's “given that the committee conduct a three meeting study” of what?

[Lloyd Longfield, Liberal, Guelph, ON]

Information we received....

[The Chair, Liberal, Francis Scarpaleggia]

It's of information we've received.

[Gérard Deltell, Conservative, Louis-Saint-Laurent, QC]

With all due respect, is that your job to take what the—

[The Chair, Liberal, Francis Scarpaleggia]

Okay. We're going to pause. Thank you. I'm just trying to expedite things.

Can you write it down, Mr. Longfield?

[Adam van Koeverden, Liberal, Milton, ON]

I think this is something worth considering. This is definitely—

[The Chair, Liberal, Francis Scarpaleggia]

No, we're not debating that. I need the language.

[Dan Mazier, Conservative, Dauphin—Swan River—Neepawa, MB]

Talk to Lloyd about it. Put it down on paper. Let's go.
