It will be at the next meeting, if we can get together.
All in favour?

The Chair Conservative Colin Mayes
The second part of that motion, which has been amended, has given us “reasonable time”.
Are you all agreed with that, that you don't want to set any time? Are we all in favour?

Rod Bruinooge Conservative Winnipeg South, MB
Well, we need to have a definite timeframe, Mr. Chair.

The Chair Conservative Colin Mayes
Well, I do, but let's wait till we come back with a witness list, and then we'll set that after “reasonable time”.

We'll set that after we look at the witness list. Sure.

I will ask the clerk to make sure he finds something that's amenable to the subcommittee.
This is a subcommittee; it is Madam Crowder and Madam Karetak-Lindell. We'll try to arrange it as quickly as possible.

Mr. Chair, can we just clarify the schedule between now and the end of this session? My understanding was we were going to use November 7 to give our instructions to the—

Harold Albrecht Conservative Kitchener—Conestoga, ON
To me, it's pretty obvious from today and from the last session that for our witnesses on post-secondary education we did not have adequate time. If there is any way we could extend and hear a few more witnesses on November 7, leaving November 9, which is the last day before the session ends, to give instructions for the report.... Are there others we could hear?
For example, I don't think we gave Roberta Jamieson adequate time last week. We certainly didn't give Mr. GooGoo adequate time today. I don't feel we've gotten to the bottom of this.
10:15 a.m.
Conservative
The Chair Conservative Colin Mayes
We're running out of time and we've already dealt with.... That's another issue. If you could put that on the agenda for the next meeting, we'll have that discussion at the same time.
We have to move on here. We have a motion from Madam Neville that is before us and I want to deal with it.
The schedule right now is that at the next meeting we're going to have the minister here to talk about estimates. That is going to take up most of that meeting. The next meeting after that is on November 7, and we will be giving instruction to our research staff on post-secondary education.
If you wish to add more witnesses and prolong this study, then you need to communicate that at the next meeting and get it on the agenda.
We're on the motion of Madam Neville, as presented.
Mr. Bruinooge.

I would like to make an amendment, and the amendment to the motion is as follows: that any dissenting opinions expressed by members of the committee be attached to the report submitted by the chair to the House of Commons.

The Chair Conservative Colin Mayes
Okay. There's a motion by Mr. Bruinooge that there be an attachment to the motion, as far as any dissenting opinions are concerned.

It's a motion that any dissenting opinion be attached to the report, or this motion, and that I table it in the House.

Anita Neville Liberal Winnipeg South Centre, MB
Mr. Chair, I wonder if the clerk could explain something to the committee. Mr. Bruinooge and I spoke yesterday, and I have no problem with a dissenting report, but my understanding is that a dissenting opinion follows your signature to the report. Am I correct? This is for the clerk.
10:20 a.m.
The Clerk of the Committee
Yes.

Anita Neville Liberal Winnipeg South Centre, MB
Okay. And is this the traditional manner in which a dissenting opinion is filed? Is it included?
My understanding is that it's not included in the motion, but that it's simply attached to the report, and I would like some clarification from the clerk.
