Evidence of meeting #42 for Human Resources, Skills and Social Development and the Status of Persons with Disabilities in the 45th Parliament, 1st session. (The original version is on Parliament’s site, as are the minutes.) The winning word was homelessness.

Can I hold a parade in your town? I don't mean to be glib. We want to do better than that, but that's a lot better than a lot of other places, just so you know.

What can the federal government do to bring down approval times and bring down development charges? Again, someone has to put the thumb down on that.

Thank you, Mr. Saini.
Thank you to the witnesses. This concludes the second round of today's committee hearing. The witnesses can go.
Before we suspend, the bells are ringing, so there are votes. I had scheduled an additional 30 minutes to deal with two items, the Centennial Flame and drafting instructions on this report. Is it the will of committee to return after the vote to see if we can do that, or would you choose the option of my scheduling it on Monday?

Can we do drafting instructions?
We cannot. I have to suspend to go in camera, and that would take the five minutes.

What about the Centennial Flame? Does that have to be done in camera? My understanding is that it might just be a secret ballot. If that's the case, could we vote?

There could be discussions. I'll seek direction.
Ms. Larouche, you have the floor.

Mr. Chair, I would like us to reconvene for 15 minutes after the vote in the House. If we reconvene quickly after the vote, I think we'll be able to vote on the Centennial Flame Research Award and provide some guidance on drafting the report. It never takes very long. I think that, after the vote, we could come back here and wrap up the meeting before 11:00 a.m.

If we do the ballot right now for that, then it gives time to tally up while we're voting.

We're going to suspend for the vote and then we will follow.... We do have problems, and I have to chair a committee at 11. Do you want to do it on Monday?

Was it for drafting instructions?

Okay. I seem to be getting consensus that we will adjourn the meeting, and we'll schedule the two items that we're doing for committee business on Monday.
The committee is adjourned.
