Procedure and House Affairs Committee on Sept. 20th, 2018

[David Graham, Liberal, Laurentides—Labelle, QC]

As before, the minister will appear from 3:30 to 4:30 on the Thursday.

[Scott Reid, Conservative, Lanark—Frontenac—Kingston, ON]

All right.

[The Chair, Liberal, Larry Bagnell]

Is there any more discussion on the motion?

[David Graham, Liberal, Laurentides—Labelle, QC]

Yes. I just have one point of clarification.

I'd like to ensure that this will be the end of our witnesses. There will be no further sudden asks for another witness. These CEOs will finish our witness list on the study.

[The Chair, Liberal, Larry Bagnell]

Is there any further discussion on the motion?

[Scott Reid, Conservative, Lanark—Frontenac—Kingston, ON]

Just give us a second to figure this out.

It's the end of the witnesses—

[David Graham, Liberal, Laurentides—Labelle, QC]

We're asking for your gentleman's agreement on that. The motion does not include it.

[An hon. member]

A gentleperson's agreement.

[David Graham, Liberal, Laurentides—Labelle, QC]

Thank you. Yes, it's a gentleperson's agreement, or a diplomat's agreement.

[The Chair, Liberal, Larry Bagnell]

Do you need further discussion on the motion?

[Scott Reid, Conservative, Lanark—Frontenac—Kingston, ON]

Sorry, give us time. Nobody talk while I'm—

[Voices]

Oh, oh!

[Scott Reid, Conservative, Lanark—Frontenac—Kingston, ON]

I won't be part of the decision-making, but you'll all agree that I am by far the most entertaining person on this side.

[Stephanie Kusie]

Chair, we'll have to discuss this. I can't agree to it.

[David Graham, Liberal, Laurentides—Labelle, QC]

Are you prepared to continue past 1 o'clock to get it finished?

[Stephanie Kusie]

I don't know if that will be necessary. I don't think it will take that long to discuss.

[David Graham, Liberal, Laurentides—Labelle, QC]

I appreciate that.

[Stephanie Kusie]

I think we can quickly discuss that and come to an agreement, or not, amongst ourselves. I'll report back in—

[Scott Reid, Conservative, Lanark—Frontenac—Kingston, ON]

I have a one o'clock meeting myself, so I would like to....

[Stephanie Kusie]

Okay.

[A voice]

You should be voting on the motion—

[Stephanie Kusie]

Yes, let's vote on the motion, not the gentleman's agreement part.

[David Graham, Liberal, Laurentides—Labelle, QC]

Where's the list right now?

[The Chair, Liberal, Larry Bagnell]

It's long.

[David Graham, Liberal, Laurentides—Labelle, QC]

Who's next?
