Conservative

The Chair Conservative James Rajotte

That's it.

Colleagues, I want to ask a very brief question. This is mainly for the subcommittee. I need some guidance from the subcommittee members and then the full committee on pre-budget consultations.

We've had a request. One of the members of the subcommittee will not be here tomorrow. One option is to have the subcommittee tomorrow. The other option is to have the subcommittee Thursday morning for an hour and then do the full committee for an hour. I don't know if we'll need the full hour for both. So the option is to meet Thursday morning with the subcommittee first at 11 a.m. and then with the full committee at noon, or meet the subcommittee tomorrow at 11 a.m. and then meet the full committee on Thursday at 11 a.m.

Ms. Glover.

12:50 p.m.

Conservative

Shelly Glover Conservative Saint Boniface, MB

Tomorrow is our regularly scheduled meeting, but there is another option that I might put on the table. We have this room until 2 , if the subcommittee chooses to use that time now and continue. I'd be glad to stay and give direction now.

12:50 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative James Rajotte

That's an option.

Ms. Glover is recommending that we keep the subcommittee here. We would probably suspend for a few minutes and then start again with the subcommittee. The other options are tomorrow or Thursday morning.

Mr. Mai, do you have a preference?

Ms. Nash.

12:50 p.m.

NDP

Peggy Nash NDP Parkdale—High Park, ON

I just want to clarify, because the whole bill went through at the very end there, that on division we're not supporting it because of part 7, which we voted against.

12:50 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative James Rajotte

Do you mean “Shall the bill carry”? There was no “on division” for the bill, so the bill carried.

12:50 p.m.

NDP

Peggy Nash NDP Parkdale—High Park, ON

We're not in support of it.

12:50 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative James Rajotte

The “on division” is for clauses 20 to 26.

12:50 p.m.

NDP

Peggy Nash NDP Parkdale—High Park, ON

We're not against that. We not in support of the total bill.

12:50 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative James Rajotte

Just hold on.

It is noted here, but I cannot, as the chair, go back to something I've already dealt with.

12:50 p.m.

NDP

Peggy Nash NDP Parkdale—High Park, ON

We did not say we were in favour of it. We're not in favour of it.

12:50 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative James Rajotte

I said “Shall the bill carry”, and I did not hear any objection.

12:50 p.m.

NDP

Peggy Nash NDP Parkdale—High Park, ON

We are not in favour.

12:50 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative James Rajotte

There is a report stage, and I would encourage you to make sure your party records its objection at that time.

Thank you.

Getting back to the meeting issue, Mr. McCallum.

12:50 p.m.

Liberal

John McCallum Liberal Markham—Unionville, ON

On the meeting issue, we'd have a preference for the Thursday because Scott Brison will be back then and he's the critic now. That would be our preference.

12:50 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative James Rajotte

Yes, Ms. Glover.

12:50 p.m.

Conservative

Shelly Glover Conservative Saint Boniface, MB

Unfortunately, I won't be available on Thursday.

What time would he be available tomorrow?

12:50 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative James Rajotte

I'm going to suggest that we adjourn and then I'll have the members of the subcommittee discuss it informally, and then if we get agreement we'll come back in about five minutes or so.

Thank you, colleagues.

The meeting is adjourned.
