Natural Resources Committee on March 3rd, 2009

[Some hon. members]

Yes.

[The Chair, Conservative, Leon Benoit]

(Motion agreed to)

[The Chair, Conservative, Leon Benoit]

Go ahead, Mr. Anderson.

[David Anderson, Conservative, Cypress Hills—Grasslands, SK]

Do we pass the motion?

[The Chair, Conservative, Leon Benoit]

Yes, the motion was passed.

Is there agreement to adjourn the meeting now? I'm looking for unanimous agreement. Is it agreed?

[Nathan Cullen, NDP, Skeena—Bulkley Valley, BC]

It's just that--

[The Chair, Conservative, Leon Benoit]

There is a point of order from Mr. Anderson, and then I see Mr. Cullen.

[David Anderson, Conservative, Cypress Hills—Grasslands, SK]

The agreement was to amend the motion, and we agreed to amend the motion. I didn't hear us pass the motion.

[The Chair, Conservative, Leon Benoit]

We did replace it, and by unanimous consent we passed it. That was done.

[Nathan Cullen, NDP, Skeena—Bulkley Valley, BC]

I think, Chair, just for technical reasons, that we may seek a vote on division or something. We just want to know what the record is actually going to say about this.

[The Chair, Conservative, Leon Benoit]

Okay, we can do that.

[Nathan Cullen, NDP, Skeena—Bulkley Valley, BC]

Let's pass it on division. That will satisfy.

[The Chair, Conservative, Leon Benoit]

Okay, let's go to a vote on this new motion of Mr. Cullen's--

[Nathan Cullen, NDP, Skeena—Bulkley Valley, BC]

And I would move that we do it on division.

[The Chair, Conservative, Leon Benoit]

--or on the amended motion.

(Motion agreed to on division)

[Nathan Cullen, NDP, Skeena—Bulkley Valley, BC]

I have just a small thing about our calendar before we break up. We have the list from the clerk's office. Is it possible for us to be sending suggestions directly through that office about witnesses and what not? Is that how we shall proceed?

[The Chair, Conservative, Leon Benoit]

Shall we deal with that at the end of the next meeting and try for that?

[Nathan Cullen, NDP, Skeena—Bulkley Valley, BC]

If we can get half an hour for that, I promise not to move any motions.

[The Chair, Conservative, Leon Benoit]

We'll go to Mr. Tonks.

[Alan Tonks, Liberal, York South—Weston, ON]

Just for clarification, Mr. Chairman, did the representatives from QUEST also put in some suggestions with respect to deputies who might be called?

[The Chair, Conservative, Leon Benoit]

They did. Has that been circulated yet?

[The Clerk of the Committee, Mrs. Marie-France Renaud]

No. It's only in English.

[The Chair, Conservative, Leon Benoit]

It's only in English, and we'll have to get translation. So it can't be circulated. It will be circulated as soon as it's translated.

We will deal with future business of the committee, then, during the last half hour of the next meeting.

Until then, the meeting is adjourned.
