So having heard all that...
Ms. Lattanzio, did you want to say something?
Liberal
Patricia Lattanzio Liberal Saint-Léonard—Saint-Michel, QC
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would simply like to know whether there is a suggested date for holding this meeting, if it takes place.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal René Arseneault
We would hold it right away after adjourning this meeting.
From what I understand, there seems to be nearly unanimous consent to adjourning the meeting immediately and spending the last hour of the meeting in subcommittee.
Liberal
Patricia Lattanzio Liberal Saint-Léonard—Saint-Michel, QC
So this committee would then turn into the subcommittee.
Is that correct?
Liberal
The Chair Liberal René Arseneault
Yes, it would be the subcommittee composed of the official members—the predetermined representatives of each party—along with the chair, that is, myself.

It comes down to what I was saying last week. We are going to adjourn the meeting and I will immediately take into account where we had got to before adjourning the meeting to go into subcommittee. So I am going to give Mr. Beaulieu the floor.

Could you confirm with the clerk again what the difference is between suspending and adjourning the meeting?
Liberal
The Chair Liberal René Arseneault
If we suspend the meeting rather than adjourning, we have the same technical problems we have been having for two weeks. That is why we are adjourning the meeting now, but I will resume it as if we had simply suspended.
It's a question of the length of the video, and changing rooms and Zoom. For members of the public listening to us, we are doing this simply for practical reasons. For us, it really changes nothing in practical terms.

If there is no agreement, we are going to resume exactly where we had got to. Mr. Beaulieu had the floor on Ms. Ashton's third subamendment.

Mr. Chair, it is also possible that the subcommittee report could provide an efficient plan and calendar of activities.

Francis Drouin Liberal Glengarry—Prescott—Russell, ON
I suggest that we add a term to the parliamentary lexicon: "technical adjournment".
Liberal
The Chair Liberal René Arseneault
Exactly.
I think no one objects to the idea of going into subcommittee.
Those opposed please raise your hands.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal René Arseneault
I'm going to adjourn this meeting on the same terms as last time, that is, the next meeting will resume as if it had simply been suspended. We are doing this for technical reasons.
The meeting is adjourned so that the committee can meet in subcommittee.
