Industry Committee on Oct. 15th, 2020

[The Chair, Liberal, Sherry Romanado]

Mr. Lemire, we're currently discussing the amendment to the fraud report. If you have another amendment, we can consider it afterwards.

In terms of the amendment before us, are there any other areas of discussion or questions?

With that, then, we will go to a vote.

(Amendment agreed to [See Minutes of Proceedings])

Now we'll go back to the motion as amended. We have the motion to reintroduce.... I'll work with the clerk on the language. I'll ask the clerk for some guidance here.

He's giving me the signal to hold up for a moment.

[The Clerk]

I could provide the language right now, just so it's clear to all the members. The language for the motion would be as follows:

That pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), the committee undertake a study of fraud calls in Canada, and that the evidence and documentation received by the committee during the first session of the 43rd Parliament on the subject be taken into consideration by the committee in the current session.

[The Chair, Liberal, Sherry Romanado]

Is there any debate on the motion as amended?

(Motion as amended agreed to)

Mr. Masse, we will be in touch to see when we can table this in the House. I'll work with the clerk to figure it out. We have to go through the study, and then we'll be able to do so. I will work with the clerk and with you to get this finalized.

[Brian Masse, NDP, Windsor West, ON]

Thank you to you, Madam Chair, and to all the members and researchers for all their hard work on this. It's much appreciated.

[The Chair, Liberal, Sherry Romanado]

I also want to provide the members with an update. We've received the dates for the next INDU meetings. There will be one on Thursday, October 22, and one on Thursday, October 29, at 11 o'clock both times.

Are there any other questions or comments?

[James Cumming, Conservative, Edmonton Centre, AB]

Madam Chair, is it the intent that the meeting on October 22 be a subcommittee meeting to deal with all the scheduling issues, the motions we've already received and any other potential motions that come forward?

[The Chair, Liberal, Sherry Romanado]

If there is going to be a subcommittee meeting it must be on one of those days. I will be in touch to let you know about the next meeting and if it will be a subcommittee or a full committee meeting.

Any other questions or comments?

[Brian Masse, NDP, Windsor West, ON]

I have a quick one on scheduling, Madam Chair.

If we are going to have the ministers before the estimates, I believe they'll have to appear before the committee one week before we have to put that to the House of Commons. With those dates, we're already running into the November dates. Maybe the parliamentary secretary could start to broach the subject, because we'll probably only have one or two available time slots for three ministers.

[The Chair, Liberal, Sherry Romanado]

Thank you so much, Mr. Masse. We are already preparing the schedule for the fall, so I will make sure that any requests for the main estimates are considered a priority because of the deadline.

Seeing no further debate or questions, I will ask for a motion to adjourn.

[Nathaniel Erskine-Smith, Liberal, Beaches—East York, ON]

I move to adjourn.

[The Chair, Liberal, Sherry Romanado]

Thank you so much.

The meeting is adjourned.
