Procedure and House Affairs Committee on Oct. 19th, 2017

[David Christopherson, NDP, Hamilton Centre, ON]

Do I gather, then, that the government's not interested in a number anywhere between $1,000 and $5,000? They're just going to leave it at $1,000?

[Chris Bittle, Liberal, St. Catharines, ON]

I'll speak for myself. I will vote in favour of leaving it at $1,000.

[David Christopherson, NDP, Hamilton Centre, ON]

Given that you're a high-powered parliamentary secretary, I expect all your little followers will do exactly the same thing.

[The Chair, Liberal, Larry Bagnell]

Ms. May, are you on the list to speak?

[Elizabeth May, Green, Saanich—Gulf Islands, BC]

I just wanted the conversation passed. I wanted to make sure it was up to $5,000.

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

It's currently “up to $1,000”, so it's still the same idea, just with a higher threshold.

[The Chair, Liberal, Larry Bagnell]

Is there any further discussion?

[David Christopherson, NDP, Hamilton Centre, ON]
