If I may, Mr. Chair, I have some photos that apply to the Talbot case. I won't pass them out to the committee--although pictures don't have to be translated, I don't think--but if anybody wants to pick some up on their way out, I would be happy to distribute them.

The Chair Conservative Gary Goodyear
Thank you.
What we will do now is refer to the actual subcommittee report. The motion before us today is that the first report of the Subcommittee on Private Members' Business be concurred in.
Again--it can be a little bit confusing--if we vote that it be concurred in, that means that we support the subcommittee's opinion that Mr. Benoit's bill is not votable.
Is everybody clear on that?
May I have a mover for this motion?
Thank you, Ms. Jennings.
Is there discussion on the motion, or shall we move to a vote?
I remind members that there are a couple of options on how we can vote. I can just ask for general consensus, I can ask for a show of hands, or I can ask that members' names be called and a vote be recorded.
I'm trying to be as open as possible here. Is there any discussion on how the committee wishes to vote? Otherwise, I will make the decision.

Mr. Chairman, I think you should just put the question. If we need a recorded vote, we'll have one. Otherwise, we'll do it as the committee normally does it.

The Chair Conservative Gary Goodyear
Fair enough.
Do you vote yea or nay, then, by a show of hands, that the first report of the Subcommittee on Private Members' Business be concurred in?
Three are abstaining.
(Motion agreed to)

It will be reported to the House tomorrow.
Thank you.
Moving on to other business, just very briefly, there is a site visitation with respect to the security operations on the Hill, as members are well aware. I would congratulate members of this committee for having the foresight to look at the security issues on the Hill. As the members well know, we've been doing this now since Parliament resumed. However, there are site visitations arranged. You have the information on where and when. All members are invited, but the subcommittee particularly is invited, on Wednesday, June 7, at 3:30.
The security subcommittee will also meet on Thursday, June 8, and another site visit to the RCMP headquarters will take place on June 13, with a subsequent meeting on June 15. We will also send out information on that.
I would remind members that the next meeting of the whole committee is here on Thursday, June 8. At that meeting we will continue with our review of the Canada Elections Act. Elections officials will appear next Tuesday, June 13.
Is there any other further business that I need to discuss?
Meeting adjourned.
