The next is “Reduced Quorum”:
That the Chair be authorized to hold meetings to receive and publish evidence when a quorum is not present, provided that at least three (3) members are present, and provided that one (1) is from government and one (1) is from opposition.
To the new committee members, these are the routine motions of the previous committee. You have the right to amend them as you see fit. We'll get into a discussion and make a decision as a committee if amendments come forward.
Mr. McColeman so moves this motion.
(Motion agreed to)
Next is “Distribution of Documents”:
That only the Clerk of the Committee be authorized to distribute documents to the members of the Committee and only when the documents exist in both official languages, and that the Clerk notify all witnesses of this requirement in advance.
That is moved by Mr. MacKinnon.
(Motion agreed to)
“Working Meals” is the next one:
That the Clerk of the Committee be authorized to make the necessary arrangements to provide for working meals for the Committee and its subcommittees.
That is moved by Mr. Sorbara.
The members who have been here will know how wonderful those meals are. The sandwiches are good.
