Good morning. Welcome to the 56th meeting of the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs.
As members know, yesterday the House voted unanimously to refer the question of privilege regarding free movement of members of Parliament within the parliamentary precinct to this committee. I think you all have a copy of that in front of you. The order of reference specifies “that the Committee make this matter a priority over all other business including its review of the Standing Orders and Procedure of the House and its committees, provided that the Committee report back no later than June 19, 2017.”
This meeting is, at the moment, in public.
Mr. Reid.
