Dan Mazier Conservative Riding Mountain, MB

On a point of order, Chair, I have a couple of housekeeping items.

In creating our supplementary report for the women's health study, we need—

The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry

Excuse me, Dan. May I let the witnesses go?

1:40 p.m.

Conservative

Dan Mazier Conservative Riding Mountain, MB

You can let the witnesses go, but don't adjourn.

The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry

Thank you.

The witnesses can leave.

I'm not adjourning, Mr. Mazier.

1:40 p.m.

Conservative

Dan Mazier Conservative Riding Mountain, MB

You had the gavel in your hand.

The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry

I had the gavel in my hand so they would pay attention to my telling them that they could go. That's all.

1:40 p.m.

Conservative

Dan Mazier Conservative Riding Mountain, MB

Thank you, Chair.

Back to the women's health study, we would ask for unanimous consent from the committee to have the analysts and the clerk produce the witness list for it.

The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry

Is that okay with everybody?

I see consensus.

1:40 p.m.

Conservative

Dan Mazier Conservative Riding Mountain, MB

There's a problem with it. Because it was in the last parliament, they can't release it unless it's requested by the committee. That's why we're asking for unanimous consent.

The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry

Yes, and there was consensus, thank you. Nobody said no.

1:40 p.m.

Conservative

Dan Mazier Conservative Riding Mountain, MB

Are we okay, clerk?

The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry

We will make sure that the list is there.

Thank you.

1:40 p.m.

Conservative

Dan Mazier Conservative Riding Mountain, MB

In another point of order, when it comes to the meeting with the ministers next week, both ministers are appearing for two hours at the same meeting. Is that correct?

The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry

That's what I understand. We have both of the ministers.

1:40 p.m.

Conservative

Dan Mazier Conservative Riding Mountain, MB

Then could we have another meeting with just officials?

The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry

Once again, you're going to have to ask the committee to give you consensus on that.

Maggie Chi Liberal Don Valley North, ON

Dan, just to clarify, I thought the officials would come with the ministers.

The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry

Officials come with the ministers.

1:40 p.m.

Conservative

Dan Mazier Conservative Riding Mountain, MB

They come, but the original motion was one meeting with one minister for one hour and another two-hour meeting with another minister. They're going to come together, so that's a two-hour meeting. It's covered. Then we'll have another two hours with just officials.

Maggie Chi Liberal Don Valley North, ON

Are you looking to amend? So far, there's no mention in the motion, I don't believe.

1:40 p.m.

Conservative

Dan Mazier Conservative Riding Mountain, MB

It was one two-hour meeting with one minister and another two-hour meeting with another minister.

Maggie Chi Liberal Don Valley North, ON

It's not a separate meeting with the officials. Is that correct?

1:40 p.m.

Conservative

Dan Mazier Conservative Riding Mountain, MB

The ministers have said they're coming together, so we have one two-hour meeting with two ministers and then another two-hour meeting with just officials.

Maggie Chi Liberal Don Valley North, ON

That's just with the officials.

1:40 p.m.

Conservative

Dan Mazier Conservative Riding Mountain, MB

Yes.
