Evidence of meeting #80 for Procedure and House Affairs in the 42nd Parliament, 1st Session. (The original version is on Parliament’s site, as are the minutes.) The winning word was debate.
A recording is available from Parliament.

I agree with that. I think the best way of proceeding is, if I may suggest, not to debate the motion that's being presented to us, but rather to debate a motion that has a specific rotation of questioning, which is ultimately what we're talking about here. Put it before the group so that we can look at it together.
I don't have any suggestions as to what it would be, but maybe if Mr. Christopherson does, he could bring it back at our next meeting.
Liberal
Scott Simms Liberal Coast of Bays—Central—Notre Dame, NL
Actually, I'd rather go to David to address that.
NDP
David Christopherson NDP Hamilton Centre, ON
Yes, if you want, I'd be glad to take a stab at trying to find a motion. I could work with everybody and see if we could get some common ground. The worst-case scenario is we bring it in, debate it, and vote. But I'd be glad to do that, Chair, on behalf of the committee.
