Justice Committee on Nov. 6th, 2012

[The Chair, Conservative, Dave MacKenzie]

I call the meeting back to order.

Ms. Findlay.

[Kerry-Lynne Findlay, Conservative, Delta—Richmond East, BC]

Thank you.

Mr. Chair, I propose that we go in camera at this point in time to deal with committee business. By that I mean we have notices of motion before us from Mr. Cotler. I know we have the officials with us. Perhaps it may be the will of the committee to have the officials stay through this discussion, or not, but I think at this point we should move forward with the committee business we have to do in camera.

[The Chair, Conservative, Dave MacKenzie]

We need to vote on it. Those in favour?

[Some hon. members]

Agreed.

[The Chair, Conservative, Dave MacKenzie]

We'll have to stand down for a few minutes while we go in camera.

[Kerry-Lynne Findlay, Conservative, Delta—Richmond East, BC]

Perhaps we could discuss whether the officials will be staying or not.

[Françoise Boivin, NDP, Gatineau, QC]

You're the one asking to go in camera, so I guess you see something that shouldn't be said to some people around here.

[Kerry-Lynne Findlay, Conservative, Delta—Richmond East, BC]

This isn't a matter for debate, Ms. Boivin. We've taken the vote. We are going in camera—

[Françoise Boivin, NDP, Gatineau, QC]

No, but you're asking a question, so I'm wondering—

[The Chair, Conservative, Dave MacKenzie]

Just a minute. It is the fourth week and it's been a long session, but—

[Françoise Boivin, NDP, Gatineau, QC]

I was just speaking to the question—

[The Chair, Conservative, Dave MacKenzie]

We're going in camera, so we will clear the room in accordance with the standard rules of an in camera meeting.

[Françoise Boivin, NDP, Gatineau, QC]

Excellent. That's clear.

[The Chair, Conservative, Dave MacKenzie]

I want to thank the officials for being here. I'm sure you're disappointed you have to leave early.

[Proceedings continue in camera]
