Also speaking

The Chair Liberal Francis Scarpaleggia

Go ahead, Mr. Longfield.

Lloyd Longfield Liberal Guelph, ON

Mr. Chair, I think you're getting some direction from the clerk. I would be pleased to put that out as a friendly amendment if Madame Pauzé would accept February 12.

The Chair Liberal Francis Scarpaleggia

Yes, she accepts. She already accepted it when I proposed it, but it's apparently not in good form.

Lloyd Longfield Liberal Guelph, ON

No, of course not.

The Chair Liberal Francis Scarpaleggia

I apologize. I was just trying to clarify the point and keep us moving.

Ms. Pauzé, have you finished and can we move on to Mr. Leslie?

Monique Pauzé Bloc Repentigny, QC

Yes.

The Chair Liberal Francis Scarpaleggia

Mr. Leslie, you're next on the list.

Conservative

Gérard Deltell Conservative Louis-Saint-Laurent, QC

I would like to know whether the list was just put together a few minutes ago.

The Chair Liberal Francis Scarpaleggia

No, it was done before the meeting became public.

11:15 a.m.

Conservative

Gérard Deltell Conservative Louis-Saint-Laurent, QC

That's what I thought.

Lloyd Longfield Liberal Guelph, ON

Could we have copies of that circulated?

Leah Taylor Roy Liberal Aurora—Oak Ridges—Richmond Hill, ON

It's in our email.

The Chair Liberal Francis Scarpaleggia

That is an interesting point. We are going to start over at zero and I will ask the clerk for direction on this subject.

11:15 a.m.

Conservative

Gérard Deltell Conservative Louis-Saint-Laurent, QC

It's delicate, because we are not able to talk about what was done in camera.

The Chair Liberal Francis Scarpaleggia

I understand. That is a good point, Mr. Deltell.

We will take a short break.

The Chair Liberal Francis Scarpaleggia

Mr. Deltell, as usual, had a good point to make. We can only go with that part of the list that was established after we left the in camera portion, so that means, Mr. Leslie, you're not on the list. Mr. van Koeverden did ask to be on the list, so he's on the list.

We start with Mr. Mazier.

11:15 a.m.

Conservative

Dan Mazier Conservative Dauphin—Swan River—Neepawa, MB

That was the original, so I'm like Mr. Leslie.

The Chair Liberal Francis Scarpaleggia

I can't talk about Mr. Leslie because it was all in camera, so you're next.

11:15 a.m.

Conservative

Branden Leslie Conservative Portage—Lisgar, MB

Is this motion moved?

The Chair Liberal Francis Scarpaleggia

Yes.

We go to Mr. Mazier, Ms. Taylor Roy, Madame Chatel, Mr. Longfield, Mr. van Koeverden and then Mr. Deltell. We'll put Mr. Leslie on after Mr. Deltell.

Laurel Collins NDP Victoria, BC

Mr. Chair, I also had my hand up.

The Chair Liberal Francis Scarpaleggia

Yes.

Laurel Collins NDP Victoria, BC

Just as a point of clarification, this list that you just read out, was that taken during the break?

The Chair Liberal Francis Scarpaleggia

No, it was after we came back. You are now on the list.

Thank you, Mr. Deltell, for that lawyerly intervention. I appreciate it.

Go ahead, Mr. Mazier.

11:20 a.m.

Conservative

Dan Mazier Conservative Dauphin—Swan River—Neepawa, MB

I thought it was Mr. Deltell who was going to speak. I have nothing. I'm sorry.

Can I switch with Mr. Deltell because of the confusion?
