Evidence of meeting #1 for Finance in the 43rd Parliament, 2nd Session. (The original version is on Parliament’s site, as are the minutes.) The winning word was chair.

We're trying to see how much time that would take. I mentioned earlier, in regard to Mr. Poilievre's motion, some of the timing. I don't even know if "within 24 hours of adoption of this motion" is possible and I don't want us to blame the analysts or clerks or anyone else if it is not doable. If you have a rough idea of the time it might take for the analysts or the clerk, it would be helpful for us to know. It would basically be a comparison document, a one pager.

The Clerk of the Committee Mr. Alexandre Roger
I think it would be difficult to give an estimate of the time it would take to go through all the documents provided and prepare the annotated list. I think it would be up to the committee as to whether they would want to wait for the annotation to proceed with their review of the subject matter.

Thank you, Alexandre. If that's the best we can do, that's the best we can do.
Ms. Jansen, do you want add anything further?

Mr. Chair, would it be something that the clerk maybe could look at doing, taking it under advisement and getting back to the committee?
4:55 p.m.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Wayne Easter
Yes. Getting back to the committee, the question is when? The motion stipulates, “shall be filed with the Clerk of the Committee within 24 hours”. We could ask her to do that.
I think what Ms. Jansen's question related to is whether this can be done in a pretty expedited fashion so that the information would be available and that doing this would not slow down the process, at least too much, in terms of getting the report to the House.

Mr. Chair, I raise the point because it would be difficult to move towards a vote without that [Inaudible--Editor].

I'm not hearing a lot of discussion on this subamendment.
Are you ready for the vote?

The Chair Liberal Wayne Easter
Yes, Mr. Gerretsen, we're voting on your subamendment.
I don't believe members have changed. Well, maybe they have.
Madam Clerk, you'd better check your list, because Mr. Kelloway might have replaced Mr. Fraser. I'm not sure.
Mike, have you replaced Mr. Fraser?

Just as a point of information, does Mr. Fraser have to be logged off to be able to have Mr. Kelloway on the vote, or can he stay on like that?

The Chair Liberal Wayne Easter
No, members are certainly allowed to attend. It's their right, as a member, to attend. The important factor is who signed in to vote.

Madam Clerk, do you want to go through the vote?
(Subamendment negatived: nays 6; yeas 5 [See Minutes of Proceedings])
I see that Mr. Kelloway is into virtual voting on committee, the same as we do in the House. Way to go, Mike.
We're back to the amendment to the original motion.
Does anybody want it read, or do we know where we're at?
Madam Clerk, it comes right in after the first “that”, and it's about pulling up the documents from session 1 of the 43rd Parliament. Could you read that amendment into the record so that people know what we're discussing, and then we'll get on with it?
5 p.m.
The Clerk
The amendment reads, “That the evidence heard and papers received by the committee during its study on government spending, WE and the Canada Student Service Grant during the first session of the 43rd Parliament be taken into consideration by the committee during the current session and accordingly”—

Okay, we all know what the amendment is now.
I have on my original list: Mr. Gerretsen, Ms. Dzerowicz and Mr. Fragiskatos. They're the only three.
Does anybody else want on the list?
Are you ready to go, Mr. Gerretsen? You're the one I have on the....
Oops, now he's off and Ms. Dzerowicz is first.
Are you ready to roll, Julie?

On a point of order, have we voted on the amendment yet, which is the amendment that was originally put forward by Mr. Kelly?
