On Monday, January 27 of this year, the Standing Committee on Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development—wait for it—met at 8:35 in the morning in the Katimavik Room of the Explorer Hotel in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories. That's pretty interesting, given the government's argument that committees don't travel on bills but just travel on studies.
Here we go. I didn't even have to go back to the last year; I could stay within the last two months and point to an example that is entirely consistent with the motion that I have in front of this committee, which underscores the relevancy and the appropriateness of making such a request.
The minutes of the meeting show that there were members present from the committee and others. Dennis Bevingtonwas there, and Kyle Seeback, Mark Strahland Chris Warkentin; as an acting member present, Yvonne Joneswas there for the Hon. Carolyn Bennett; an associate member present was Ryan Leef; the Library of Parliament was there; and the witness list was quite extensive.
