Fisheries Committee on Nov. 14th, 2007

[The Chair, Conservative, Fabian Manning]

Mr. Blais—

[Peter Stoffer, NDP, Sackville—Eastern Shore, NS]

He has no problem.

[Gerry Byrne, Liberal, Humber—St. Barbe—Baie Verte, NL]

Yes, he does.

[Peter Stoffer, NDP, Sackville—Eastern Shore, NS]

Oh, he does? Oh, okay.

[The Chair, Conservative, Fabian Manning]

Yes. I think Mr. Blais has explained that he needs to have interpretation.

I don't necessarily blame you, sir.

[Bill Matthews, Liberal, Random—Burin—St. George's, NL]

Bring an interpreter with him; then it will be fair.

[The Chair, Conservative, Fabian Manning]

How do we deal with this now?

If we want to meet as a subcommittee and Mr. Blais needs interpretation, then we need to be in a committee room.

Is this committee room available?

[The Clerk]

We can always find a committee room, Mr. Chairman—or most of the time.

[The Chair, Conservative, Fabian Manning]

Okay. I need some direction here. Do we need to settle on a time and then figure out where we're going to meet afterwards?

Is 12 o'clock tomorrow fine, Mr. Matthews?

[Bill Matthews, Liberal, Random—Burin—St. George's, NL]

Yes.

[The Chair, Conservative, Fabian Manning]

Mr. Blais?

Mr. Stoffer?

And one other government member...?

Okay, it's 12 o'clock tomorrow. You'll be advised tomorrow morning where we meet.

[Peter Stoffer, NDP, Sackville—Eastern Shore, NS]

Motion to adjourn.

[The Chair, Conservative, Fabian Manning]

A motion to adjourn has been put on the table.

[Some hon. members]

Agreed.

[The Chair, Conservative, Fabian Manning]

Thank you very much for your cooperation.
