Industry Committee on Feb. 16th, 2016

[Earl Dreeshen, Conservative, Red Deer—Mountain View, AB]

Oh, I'm sorry, it's five minutes for everyone on the second round, except for the NDP; instead of being three minutes, it would be two minutes.

[Chandra Arya, Liberal, Nepean, ON]

Once again, to confirm, you're suggesting that the first round is Liberal, Conservative, NDP, Liberal, each for seven minutes.

Round two is Conservative, Liberal, Conservative, Liberal, for five minutes each.

[Earl Dreeshen, Conservative, Red Deer—Mountain View, AB]

Yes.

[Chandra Arya, Liberal, Nepean, ON]

And NDP with three or two minutes?

[Earl Dreeshen, Conservative, Red Deer—Mountain View, AB]

Two minutes, to make it add up to 50.

[Chandra Arya, Liberal, Nepean, ON]

Let's make it 51.

[Earl Dreeshen, Conservative, Red Deer—Mountain View, AB]

Then you have to make the other nine.

[The Chair, Liberal, Dan Ruimy]

Mr. Masse.

[Brian Masse, NDP, Windsor West, ON]

Obviously I can't support reduction of time. That's not a—

[Alex Nuttall, Conservative, Barrie—Springwater—Oro-Medonte, ON]

It's the same thing: seven and two.

[Brian Masse, NDP, Windsor West, ON]

Oh, seven and two. Okay, I didn't hear the first—

[Alex Nuttall, Conservative, Barrie—Springwater—Oro-Medonte, ON]

You still get nine, but you're guaranteed seven up front.

[René Arseneault, Liberal, Madawaska—Restigouche, NB]

I have seven and three.

[Brian Masse, NDP, Windsor West, ON]

It's seven and two, so you're moving the one minute there.

Okay, there we go. That's clarification.

[The Chair, Liberal, Dan Ruimy]

Mr. Arya, are you okay with that?

[Chandra Arya, Liberal, Nepean, ON]

Can I amend my motion? Is it permissible?

If the committee agrees, based on the discussion from Mr. Dreeshen, I move that the witness from any one organization shall be allowed 10 minutes to make their opening statements. The rotation by time: round one, Liberal, Conservative, NDP, Liberal, seven minutes each; round two, Conservative, Liberal, Conservative, Liberal, five minutes each, and NDP with two minutes.

[The Clerk]

Is that round one seven minutes?

[The Chair, Liberal, Dan Ruimy]

To clarify, to make sure we're good here, the amendment speaks to the order: round one, Liberal, Conservative, NDP, Liberal, and round two, Conservative, Liberal, Conservative, Liberal, NDP. That's for order. Then for time, it's round one, seven minutes, round two, five minutes, and the last, NDP, would be two minutes.

[Chandra Arya, Liberal, Nepean, ON]

Correct.

[The Chair, Liberal, Dan Ruimy]

Are we all agreed?

[Chandra Arya, Liberal, Nepean, ON]

Yes.

[Brian Masse, NDP, Windsor West, ON]

Can I make an amendment for the final round for me to be 20 minutes?

[Some hon. members]

Oh, oh!

[The Chair, Liberal, Dan Ruimy]

No.

The motion is carried.

(Motion as amended agreed to [See Minutes of Proceedings])

Is there no other business for today?

[An hon. member]

No, Mr. Chair.
