It being 9:02, good morning. Welcome back to the 55th meeting of the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs. This meeting is being televised. Prior to our suspension on April 13, the committee was debating Mr. Reid's amendment to Mr. Simms' motion.
Also, I'll bring your attention to the two excellent papers that we asked for, done by our research, one on the Standing Orders in Quebec's National Assembly dealing with omnibus bills, and the other one on the historical contents of budget implementation bills.
It is my understanding that all parties have signalled their intention to support the subamendment and amendment on the question of privilege currently being debated in the House. As members know, when this question comes to a vote it means that ultimately this committee will be seized with the matter of access to members of the parliamentary precinct.
Given this information, I'm happy to say that this 55th meeting finally stands adjourned.
