A recording is available from Parliament.
Laurentides—Labelle, Lib.
In that case, I'd like to be on the record for one second.
Laurentides—Labelle, Lib.
Yes, just very quickly, I'll put this motion on notice right now while I'm here.
I'll do that right now so that it's taken care of. I can give it orally.
Laurentides—Labelle, Lib.
As I've already given it, as I've already read it, do you want me to read it again?
Central Okanagan—Similkameen—Nicola, CPC
Don't we have to finish this business first before we proceed with other business, Mr. Chair?
Laurentides—Labelle, Lib.
If we're in committee business we can move it right away. If we're only at a specific motion, I have to wait for two more days.

The Chair Liberal Dan Ruimy
We are public, and you can put a notice of motion through. I mean, I've never stopped you guys from putting a notice of motion through. If you want to do that, then I suggest you put it through quickly so we can go on to our vote.
Wellington—Halton Hills, CPC
On a point of order, just to clarify, there's nothing untoward about giving a notice of motion, but the motion that Mr. Albas moved is still live on the floor, notwithstanding the notice of motion.
Laurentides—Labelle, Lib.
Yes, absolutely. That's true. It doesn't in any way pre-empt it. It's just saying that once we get past that, then we can discuss this other point.
Central Okanagan—Similkameen—Nicola, CPC
You're not going to discuss it. You're going to give notice of motion.
Laurentides—Labelle, Lib.
I'm giving notice of motion, and then the next time we can discuss it.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Dan Ruimy
He wants to give his notice of motion right now, and he's entitled to do that. We're running out of time, so please, let's go ahead.
Read it.
Laurentides—Labelle, Lib.
Okay. You've already heard it, so I'll read it quickly. I will be putting on notice the motion that the Standing Committee on Industry, Science and Technology invite the chief statistician of Statistics Canada to appear before the committee to discuss the financial data pilot project for one hour, and that the meeting be televised.
That's it.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Dan Ruimy
Can we just remove the words “pilot project”? I don't know that it's an official term.
Laurentides—Labelle, Lib.
Sure, if it makes it easier. What do you want to call it, then?
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Dan Ruimy
It would be, “to discuss the financial”...exactly what's in there.
All right, thank you. Notice has been received. We're going to go to the vote on the motion.
(Motion negatived: nays 5; yeas 4)
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Dan Ruimy
I just want to do one more quick thing before we go.
Wednesday is the official apology for the MS St. Louis in the House. The committee is not cancelled. We will still have our committee meeting. We'll still have our witnesses. I just want to let you guys know that's where we stand. For the St. Louis apology, the Prime Minister is doing a speech. I would imagine all the leaders are as well, so that's going to take about 45 minutes, but we will still have committee.
Central Okanagan—Similkameen—Nicola, CPC
Will we have the committee meeting after the apology?
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Dan Ruimy
No, it will be during the apology. We won't postpone our committee, because we do have some witnesses here and housekeeping to do.
