Procedure and House Affairs Committee on March 24th, 2011

[Scott Reid, Conservative, Lanark—Frontenac—Lennox and Addington, ON]

Two pages, plus a cover page.

[Terence Young, Conservative, Oakville, ON]

What is wrong with getting helpful information at the committee? Why are you always trying to prevent us from getting new information?

[An hon. member]

Not at all.

[Terence Young, Conservative, Oakville, ON]

Of course we should accept the information.

[David McGuinty, Liberal, Ottawa South, ON]

Just ask the question, Chair.

[The Chair, Conservative, Joe Preston]

Okay. I've finished the speakers on my list, so I will ask the question on Mr. Reid's motion to table the three documents that he has.

Those in favour?

[An hon. member]

Absolutely. No problem.

[The Chair, Conservative, Joe Preston]

Any opposed?

Boy, that was worth....

[Marcel Proulx, Liberal, Hull—Aylmer, QC]

Oh, Tom is opposed.

[Tom Lukiwski, Conservative, Regina—Lumsden—Lake Centre, SK]

Is this in both official languages?

[The Chair, Conservative, Joe Preston]

Of course they'll have to be before they're distributed, but they can be given to us for evidence that way.

I'm back now to—

[Scott Reid, Conservative, Lanark—Frontenac—Lennox and Addington, ON]

Sorry, Mr. Chair, but I have a point of order.

I just consulted. We did get these from the clerk, and we're told there should be a French translation. So she's going to see if she can get it from the computer, because we have permission to table that as well, and then it can be distributed.

[The Chair, Conservative, Joe Preston]

Great, if it's there, to make it easier. Thank you.

Mr. Reid, you've asked for an insertion of wording in paragraph 2.

[Scott Reid, Conservative, Lanark—Frontenac—Lennox and Addington, ON]

Yes, I have wording.

[The Chair, Conservative, Joe Preston]

You've got it?

[Scott Reid, Conservative, Lanark—Frontenac—Lennox and Addington, ON]

Yes.

[The Chair, Conservative, Joe Preston]

Slowly, please, for translation purposes, if it's long and....

[Scott Reid, Conservative, Lanark—Frontenac—Lennox and Addington, ON]

Yes.

Essentially, a paragraph 2.1 or 2(a) would be entered after paragraph 2, which would say that the document obtained through Mr. McKay's order paper question--

[Bob Rae, Liberal, Toronto Centre, ON]

No, it wasn't the order paper question, it was an ATIP request.

[Scott Reid, Conservative, Lanark—Frontenac—Lennox and Addington, ON]

It was an ATIP.

[Bob Rae, Liberal, Toronto Centre, ON]

It was an ATIP request that produced the public information—

[Scott Reid, Conservative, Lanark—Frontenac—Lennox and Addington, ON]

Okay, I thought you just said it was an order paper question.

[Bob Rae, Liberal, Toronto Centre, ON]

—in November. No, there was another order paper question from Glen Pearson in March--

[Marcel Proulx, Liberal, Hull—Aylmer, QC]

And Jennings.

[Bob Rae, Liberal, Toronto Centre, ON]

--and Jennings in March about the question of Kairos.
