Sorry, there's a delay as a result of the interpretation. Could we please have more time to vote yea or nay?

The Clerk

When the committee votes, there are three ways to express its decision: unanimous consent, on division or with a recorded vote. I think in this case we need to go with a recorded—

We cannot hear you, Clerk.

As spoken

The Chair Liberal Judy Sgro

Yes, we cannot hear you, Madam Clerk. Would you please repeat that?

As spoken

The Clerk

On September 23, the House adopted a motion stating how the committee should vote. It is either by unanimous consent, on division or with a recorded vote. I think in this case it is probably a recorded vote. I'm not sure. It's up to the committee to decide.

As spoken

The Chair Liberal Judy Sgro

How would the committee like to have this vote? Is it on division or with a recorded vote?

Randy Hoback Conservative Prince Albert, SK

I guess it's a recorded vote, because we are going to vote against it.

As spoken

The Chair Liberal Judy Sgro

Okay.

As spoken

The Clerk

This is a recorded vote on the amendment of Mr. Dhaliwal to reduce the time given to the witnesses for their opening remarks to five minutes.

(Amendment negatived: nays 6; yeas 5 [See Minutes of Proceedings])

As spoken

The Chair Liberal Judy Sgro

Thank you very much. The amendment is not carried.

Mr. Dhaliwal, you mentioned another motion. Do you have anything else?

As spoken

Sukh Dhaliwal Liberal Surrey—Newton, BC

No, everything else is okay.

As spoken

The Chair Liberal Judy Sgro

All right.

Are there any other comments before we deal with the routine motions as amended, subject to our clarifying the admissibility or inadmissibility of the suggestions by Mr. Dhaliwal that we will discuss at the next meeting?

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

As spoken

Sukh Dhaliwal Liberal Surrey—Newton, BC

I'd say it's unanimous. I think everybody had their hand up.

As spoken

The Chair Liberal Judy Sgro

Madam Clerk, can we proceed?

As spoken

The Clerk

Would you invite the analysts to open their cameras?

As spoken

The Chair Liberal Judy Sgro

Yes. Would Bashar Abu Taleb, Offah Obale and Anne-Marie Therrien-Tremblay, the committee's analysts, activate their cameras in order to be part of this meeting?

There we go. Welcome. Thank you. It's good to see you all.

Go ahead, Mr. Savard-Tremblay.

As spoken

Simon-Pierre Savard-Tremblay Bloc Saint-Hyacinthe—Bagot, QC

Before we continue, I want to say something.

Many of the routine motions have been inherent to how we operate. Is this a good time to submit proposals regarding specific or priority studies for the coming weeks? I've submitted some proposals to the clerk, which have been translated and adapted for compliance and admissibility purposes.

Is this a good time to introduce them, or would it be better to do so a little later, by the end of the meeting?

Translated

The Chair Liberal Judy Sgro

There will be time. I'm just moving into the area now of other business.

As spoken

Simon-Pierre Savard-Tremblay Bloc Saint-Hyacinthe—Bagot, QC

Thank you.

Translated

The Chair Liberal Judy Sgro

Does the committee wish to discuss any other business at this time?

Mr. Savard-Tremblay, you indicated that you wanted to introduce something.

As spoken

Simon-Pierre Savard-Tremblay Bloc Saint-Hyacinthe—Bagot, QC

Can I do so now?

Translated

The Chair Liberal Judy Sgro

Yes.

As spoken

Simon-Pierre Savard-Tremblay Bloc Saint-Hyacinthe—Bagot, QC

Madam Clerk, I don't know whether you have my motions on hand. The motions are translated and adapted proposals regarding studies and priorities for the coming weeks.

How do you want us to proceed? I'm having a bit of trouble, given that everyone is on Zoom. I don't know whether you're sending all this by email. What's the procedure for this?

Translated

The Clerk

I'm ready to send the motions that were received in your P9 email account. The motions are in both official languages. Do you want me to send all the motions, Mr. Savard-Tremblay, or just one or two of them?
