Indigenous and Northern Affairs Committee on Nov. 28th, 2022

[The Chair, Liberal, Marc Garneau]

That would achieve the same thing.

[Gary Vidal, Conservative, Desnethé—Missinippi—Churchill River, SK]

I just want the process clear, so we don't end up fighting over it. That's my point.

I will withdraw my motion. We'll consider it on Thursday.

[The Chair, Liberal, Marc Garneau]

Very good: It will have had the 48 hours.

We have only one now.

Ms. Atwin, it's your turn.

[Jenica Atwin, Liberal, Fredericton, NB]

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

There have been discussions amongst the parties. I am seeking unanimous consent to move another motion, but it's outside of the 48-hour notice period. I will need unanimous consent to move it.

[The Chair, Liberal, Marc Garneau]

Very good.

Has it been distributed to members?

[The Clerk]

Yes. It was previously amended. I'm redistributing the amendment.

[The Chair, Liberal, Marc Garneau]

Okay.

While it's being distributed, would you care to—in the interest of time—describe it or read it, Ms. Atwin?

[Jenica Atwin, Liberal, Fredericton, NB]

[The Chair, Liberal, Marc Garneau]

Thank you.

The committee has heard the motion. Hopefully, it's been distributed.

Ms. Idlout is okay...? Good.

Mrs. Gill, is that okay with you? It appears to be.

There seems to be unanimous consent.

(Motion agreed to)

I would ask everybody to be cognizant of the deadlines Ms. Atwin read out to us.

Thank you.

With that, this meeting is adjourned.
