I call the meeting back to order.
There have been a number of points of order raised. I'm going to start to address those.
Standing Order 119 clearly states that a committee may determine whether a non-member may participate in proceedings:
Any member of the House who is not a member of a standing, special or legislative committee, may, unless the House or the committee concerned otherwise orders, take part in the public proceedings of the committee, but may not vote or move any motion, nor be a part of any quorum.
That is something I raised earlier today in the meeting as well.
