Evidence of meeting #130 for Human Resources, Skills and Social Development and the Status of Persons with Disabilities in the 44th Parliament, 1st Session. (The original version is on Parliament’s site, as are the minutes.) The winning word was industry.
A video is available from Parliament.

Technically it's called industrial, commercial and institutional—the ICI sector. To use layman's terms, “non-residential” is probably the best term to use.

The Chair Liberal Bobby Morrissey
Thank you, Mr. Coteau.
Thank you to the witnesses. That will conclude it.
We have only a minute, and I need direction from the committee on one item.
Thank you. Mr. Silveira, Mr. Facette and Mr. Pascoe for your extensive testimony today in questioning from the committee members. You can leave at will.
There is one item before we conclude that I need direction on. In the eventuality that ministers are not available to appear on October 31 and/or November 5, members were asked to submit names and contact information.
Madame Chabot, members were asked to submit the names and contact information of at least two witnesses for the study on workers in the seasonal economy in the employment insurance program.
What deadline does the committee wish to set for the rest of the witness list for this study?
I have to be able to schedule timing. I'm suggesting Friday, October 25, as the deadline for witnesses for the study.
Madame Chabot, that's your study on seasonal industries and employment insurance.
Do we have agreement on that?

Mr. Chair, I'm sorry, but there is a delay in the interpretation.
I am trying to understand what you are saying. Are you talking about briefs? We have already been asked for our witness list by 5 p.m. today.

I can't hear anything. I don't know what you are saying. I don't hear the interpreter when you are talking. There is also a problem with the device.
Could someone please tell me what the chair is asking me?
The Clerk of the Committee Ms. Ariane Calvert
First, the chair asked for each party to submit by the end of the day two names of people they would like to invite as witnesses. The chair then asked whether the committee agreed to the deadline for submitting the remaining names to be added to the witness list, that is, by the end of the day on October 25.

Okay. I was told November 25. That's why I got mixed up.
Thank you.

The Chair Liberal Bobby Morrissey
It's October 25.
There is nothing else on the agenda. Is it the will of the committee to adjourn until Thursday?
