—I would just like for somebody who knows how to to do this stuff to maybe give us a bit of training on what's allowed and what's not so that we don't screw up.

What do you mean by “what's allowed and what's not”?

Branden Leslie Conservative Portage—Lisgar, MB

What's cabinet confidence? What types of questions should we and shouldn't we ask? Just have a little briefing, perhaps.... I'll do this on my own if nobody else wants to do it—it's fine—I just think we want to make sure nobody—

The Chair Liberal Francis Scarpaleggia

I think what's clear is that any question that reveals something that is.... Quite frankly, anything that reveals anything in the documents, in a way, cannot be the premise of a question.

I think we have agreement, so we can vote on Mr. van Koeverden's subamendment to Mr. Leslie's amendment. We're adding “in camera” twice.

(Subamendment agreed to)

(Amendment as amended agreed to)

(Motion as amended agreed to [See Minutes of Proceedings])

Can we adjourn?
