Welcome, everyone. On this Thursday, February 9, 2012, we are starting the 24th meeting of the Standing Committee on Official Languages.
We are discussing the motion of Costas Menegakis, which reads as follows:That all Committee business of the Committee be conducted in camera.
Dan Harris has introduced an amendment which reads as follows: That the motion be amended by adding after the words "in camera" the following: "with the consent of at least one member of the opposition or a vote by committee at the start of any sitting of the Standing Committee on Official Languages where Committee business is to be discussed."
Robert Aubin had the floor at the end of Tuesday's meeting.
Consequently, Mr. Aubin, you may begin.
