Good morning, everybody. It is very nice to see you all.
It's great to be back.
I hope that everybody had a wonderful summer at home with friends, family and constituents. We have a lot ahead of us in terms of what's to come, but we have some business to tend to right off the bat.
I'm calling to order meeting 122 of the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs.
This is a friendly reminder, as we've been away for a little bit, to please, for the benefit of our interpreters who are working hard on our behalf, make sure that your headsets are on the sticker that's been provided in front of you in order to avoid harmful feedback and other obstructions.
I'm going to just give a very brief explanation of where we are, why we are where we are and what we need to do to move forward.
Ms. Mathyssen put forward at the end of our last meeting, as you may recall, a motion that we did not deal with in terms of what the next steps would be. We were suspended at the end of that meeting. We have to get back into the conversation on Ms. Mathyssen's motion. However, there's a small technicality we have to deal with. Due to a date, which is now in the past, that was inserted into Ms. Mathyssen's motion, there's an admissibility issue. I have spoken with all parties and members in relation to this.
I believe I'm seeing that Ms. Mathyssen would like to speak to it. We'll see what you have to say, Ms. Mathyssen. That may very well get us moving this morning. I turn the floor over to you.
