On whatever that first day is. The date is important, though--obviously sooner rather than later.

12:55 p.m.

The Clerk

I can read that again, except we don't have the specific dates.

It's that the committee invite relevant witnesses to provide comments on the proposed sale on such and such a date.

12:55 p.m.

NDP

Peggy Nash NDP Parkdale—High Park, ON

I would like it to be fairly soon, obviously.

12:55 p.m.

The Chair Conservative James Rajotte

The challenge with the date, Ms. Nash.... You proposed that we invite the mayor of Toronto and other municipal witnesses on March 4, and they all said they could not come on that date. So as you know from this morning, we were going to invite them for March 11. The committee should not be changing what the subcommittee has decided, especially since it was done an hour previously.

So on March 11 we're going to invite your witnesses, Mayor Miller and the two other mayors. We have March 6 booked with Dr. Carty. We have the minister on March 13.

What about March 4?

12:55 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative James Rajotte

We already agreed this morning to do a review of Canada's service sector--the draft report of the service sector, which we were supposed to be doing today and we won't be doing.

To put a date on this is very difficult.

12:55 p.m.

NDP

Peggy Nash NDP Parkdale—High Park, ON

It only works if there's a date.

12:55 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative James Rajotte

You could propose a Wednesday, then.

12:55 p.m.

NDP

Peggy Nash NDP Parkdale—High Park, ON

Well, why don't we do a Wednesday, then?

12:55 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative James Rajotte

Okay, then, March 5?

Let's get the votes done, members. We're going past time now.

We're voting on Ms. Nash's subamendment.

(Subamendment agreed to: yeas 7; nays 3)

12:55 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative James Rajotte

On the amendment by Mr. Brison, as amended by the subamendment.

(Amendment agreed to: yeas 7; nays 3)

12:55 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative James Rajotte

The motion is basically gone because of the amendment.

We'll still need a vote on the main motion.

(Motion as amended agreed to: yeas 7; nays 3)

12:55 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative James Rajotte

We will hopefully get to the service sector at the next meeting.

The meeting is adjourned.
