Indigenous and Northern Affairs Committee on Nov. 26th, 2020

[Rachel Blaney, NDP, North Island—Powell River, BC]

Yes. Thank you.

[The Chair, Liberal, Bob Bratina]

Thanks very much, and thanks, Ms. Blaney.

Thank you to all our witnesses. I'm sorry that the technical issues took away some of our questioning time. If there's anything further that you feel that we should have in our report, please submit it in writing, and we'll make sure that the analysts review and include pertinent information in our upcoming report.

Once again, thank you so much. Thank you for your patience.

I understand we have a bit of committee business.

Madame Bérubé, do you have a motion to bring forward?

[Sylvie Bérubé, Bloc, Abitibi—Baie-James—Nunavik—Eeyou, QC]

Yes, Mr. Chair.

[The Chair, Liberal, Bob Bratina]

Please go ahead. You have the floor.

[Sylvie Bérubé, Bloc, Abitibi—Baie-James—Nunavik—Eeyou, QC]

Mr. Chair, I just have one question about this.

I am wondering why I must present it this evening, as it was approved in subcommittee.

[The Chair, Liberal, Bob Bratina]

The full committee is now entertaining the motion.

[Sylvie Bérubé, Bloc, Abitibi—Baie-James—Nunavik—Eeyou, QC]

One moment please.

[Rachel Blaney, NDP, North Island—Powell River, BC]

Mr. Chair, on a point of order, I think it's important that we make it clear that our amazing witnesses don't have to stay for this part.

[The Chair, Liberal, Bob Bratina]

Thanks for that. Thank you so much, everyone.

In our normal course of business, when we're all meeting in person, we would have a slight social gathering to exchange best wishes. We'll do that technically.

Thank you so much.

Madame Bérubé, do you have your motion for us?

[Sylvie Bérubé, Bloc, Abitibi—Baie-James—Nunavik—Eeyou, QC]

Yes.

[The Chair, Liberal, Bob Bratina]

Please read it.

[Sylvie Bérubé, Bloc, Abitibi—Baie-James—Nunavik—Eeyou, QC]

One moment, it won't be long.

[The Chair, Liberal, Bob Bratina]

Do you have it?

[Sylvie Bérubé, Bloc, Abitibi—Baie-James—Nunavik—Eeyou, QC]

Here is my motion:That, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), the Committee resume and complete its study on food security in northern communities undertaken during the first session of the 43rd Parliament and that the evidence and documents received by the Committee at that time be considered by the Committee during the current session and that the Committee report its recommendations.

[The Chair, Liberal, Bob Bratina]

Has the committee heard the motion clearly? If so, in our virtual setting, I will ask if we have unanimous consent to approve the motion.

I see no opposition to the motion.

(Motion agreed to)

We have unanimous consent for Madame Bérubé's motion. Once again, thank you for that.

We will move on to our next meeting next Tuesday. I'll ask all parties to make sure their witness lists are updated by Tuesday, December 1, and to notify the clerk accordingly. I believe we still may want to hear from parties regarding witnesses. Please do that before December 1.

With no further business at hand, I declare this meeting adjourned.
