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—

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.

The Chair Liberal Judy Sgro
How would the committee like to have this vote? Is it on division or with a recorded vote?

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

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

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?
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Judy Sgro
There will be time. I'm just moving into the area now of other business.
Liberal
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.
Bloc
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?
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?
