Health Committee on March 21st, 2023

[Luc Thériault, Bloc, Montcalm, QC]

Mr. Chair, I would just like to add something for the benefit of all members.

I want to salute the efforts of Mr. Lake, who has shown great determination and done an excellent job supporting this bill, and above all with a diplomatic touch that is very much appreciated, by our side, at least, and probably by all parties. It has allowed us to reach a solution like this one today.

He is a good man, and probably the party's best spokesperson for the cause, without prejudice to the other Conservatives in the House.

[The Chair, Liberal, Sean Casey]

Thank you very much, Mr. Thériault.

Well said.

Congratulations, Mr. Lake.

Thank you, everyone. I think Monsieur Thériault speaks for us all in that regard.

Go ahead, Mr. Davies, please.

[Don Davies, NDP, Vancouver Kingsway, BC]

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I would add my voice to that, as well, and thank Mr. Lake for his championing of this issue. I think he represents Parliament so well on this issue, and I want to thank him for his hard work.

I would like to move a motion on scheduling. At our last meeting, we decided to study the PMPRB issues, but we left it to schedule. I would propose that we set aside two days, on any two of the following: April 25, April 27, May 2, May 4, May 9 or May 11.

[The Chair, Liberal, Sean Casey]

The motion is in order.

Is there any discussion? Essentially, we have already adopted a motion to conduct a study. The motion before you is that the study be held over two days. There are five dates listed, of which we would take up two.

Is there any discussion?

Go ahead, Mr. Thériault.

[Luc Thériault, Bloc, Montcalm, QC]

Mr. Chair, I don't have a problem with that, since we agreed at the end of the last meeting that the next study would be about breast implants, in keeping with our work schedule.

[The Chair, Liberal, Sean Casey]

Do we have consensus to pass the motion as presented?

(Motion agreed to)

Is there further business to come before the meeting?

Is it the will of the committee to adjourn?

[Some hon. members]

Agreed.

[The Chair, Liberal, Sean Casey]

I see consensus.

The meeting is adjourned.
