Mrs. Stubbs, I'm going to go to the clerk first. You're not the clerk. The clerk will answer, and then we will proceed. That's what we're doing.

Mr. Clerk, please go ahead.

October 25th, 2023 / 5:30 p.m.

The Clerk of the Committee Mr. Patrick Williams

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

The motion calls for the committee to report to the House. It is true that Bill C-69 was already adopted in the 42nd legislature. It's not before the House right now, which means that if someone tried to concur in the report in the House, the House would likely not be able to act on the content of the report. At that point, the Speaker might rule that the motion to concur in the report is out of order. Whether or not.... There could be a procedural issue in the House, but it would be up to the Speaker to rule at that point.

5:30 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal George Chahal

Colleagues, I think that's pretty clear.

We are out of time for our first hour.

I'm going to suspend the meeting so we can move in camera.

Conservative

Shannon Stubbs Conservative Lakeland, AB

No, I have the floor, Chair.

I have the floor. That was wonderful input from the clerk, but I have the floor—and I'm not yelling, in case men want to characterize me as that.

5:35 p.m.

Are we ready to move in camera?
