On a point of order, Chair, respectfully, I believe it's members who propose the routine motions.

On the subcommittee on agenda and procedure, I move:
That the Subcommittee on Agenda and Procedure be established and be composed of five members, namely
—a certain number of members that I don't have here—
the chair and one member from each recognized party; and that the subcommittee work in a spirit of collaboration.

I would ask you to maybe rephrase that to make sure it's clear that you were moving that it be composed of five members.

The next motion reads, “That the Chair be authorized to hold meetings to receive and publish evidence and to have that evidence published when a quorum is not present, provided that at least four members are present including two members of the opposition parties and two members of the government party, but when travelling outside the parliamentary precinct, that the meeting begin after 15 minutes, regardless of members present.”
Conservative
The Chair Conservative Pat Kelly
Okay. You are moving that the chair be authorized to hold meetings and receive and publish evidence when a quorum is....
I'm sorry, which...? Could you...?

The Chair Conservative Pat Kelly
Right.
It's “provided that at least four members are present including one member of the opposition and one member of the government”.
Conservative
The Chair Conservative Pat Kelly
Okay. So I got that correctly.
All those in favour of the motion? Any opposed?
Liberal
Iqra Khalid Liberal Mississauga—Erin Mills, ON
Sorry, but just to seek clarification, are we saying “two” members of the opposition and “two” members of the government, or is it “one”?
Liberal
Conservative
The Chair Conservative Pat Kelly
Okay.
This will be up to the members. We may end up needing a quick moment here. The routine motion that is typically passed would be...or the one that was adopted in the last Parliament was “one” and “one”.
Ms. Hepfner, you said “two” and “two”.
We might need some discussion on this. Is “two” and “two” acceptable?
Conservative
