Procedure and House Affairs Committee on March 24th, 2011

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

Yes, I think the same problem exists in English. It wasn't a supplementary report, it was a dissenting report.

I'm not sure if Mr. Lukiwski probably had the same thing I was going to talk about.

[The Chair, Conservative, Joe Preston]

Mr. Lukiwski.

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

My point is that we have to amend this because the report states that the dissenting report—this is called a “supplementary” report—is “prepared by the Conservative Party of Canada”. It was not. It was prepared by the government members on the committee, not the Conservative Party of Canada.

[The Chair, Conservative, Joe Preston]

The report states it as “a supplementary report prepared by the Conservative Party of Canada”, attached to the report.

So I know where they got the words. It may not be correct, but that's where the words came from.

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

It's not the end of the world.

[The Chair, Conservative, Joe Preston]

No.

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

[Inaudible—Editor]

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

I know, but that's what it says, so I'm not worried about it.

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

It would be the government members sitting on the committee who prepared the report, would it not?

[The Chair, Conservative, Joe Preston]

Yes, it would be.

[An hon. member]

It doesn't matter.

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

Well, that's my understanding.

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

Whatever suits you.

[The Chair, Conservative, Joe Preston]

I believe it says that too.

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

If it's factual, it's fine.

[The Chair, Conservative, Joe Preston]

So that's paragraph 11. As written, or any changes?

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

There are a few changes in French.

[Pierre Paquette, Bloc, Joliette, QC]

“Opinion“ has been changed.

[The Chair, Conservative, Joe Preston]

Okay, so we've gone to “opinion”.

[Harold Albrecht, Conservative, Kitchener—Conestoga, ON]

There's the question about “supplementary” or “dissenting”.

[The Chair, Conservative, Joe Preston]

It says “supplementary”, so we're going to sit there, I think.

All in favour of paragraph 11, as changed?

[Some hon. members]

Agreed.

[The Chair, Conservative, Joe Preston]

(Paragraphs 12 to 15 inclusive agreed to)

All in favour of paragraph 16?

[Some hon. members]

Agreed.

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

Sorry, did you say paragraph 16?
