I bring this forward while we're on in camera proceedings. I know we're going to get along very well in this committee and we're going to respect each other, but I have seen in the past abuses of in camera, where, as you've said, the importance of democracy is sometimes put under a cone of silence. I just thought we should have some clear rules about how we go in camera and what is admissible.
I move:
That any motion to go in camera should be debatable and amendable, and that the committee may only meet in camera for the following purposes:
(a) to discuss administrative matters of the committee
(b) a draft report
(c) briefings concerning national security;
And furthermore, minutes of in camera meetings should reflect on the results of all votes taken by the committee while in camera, with the exception of votes regarding the consideration of draft reports—
because that would not be acceptable
—including how each member voted when a recorded vote is requested.
