Evidence of meeting #6 for Subcommittee on Private Members' Business in the 41st Parliament, 2nd Session. (The original version is on Parliament’s site, as are the minutes.) The winning word was item.
A recording is available from Parliament.
Committee Researcher
The bill amends the Canada Shipping Act, 2001, to prohibit the transportation of oil in oil tankers in the Dixon Entrance, Hecate Strait and Queen Charlotte Sound. It also amends the National Energy Board Act to require the National Energy Board to take into account certain factors before making a recommendation to the minister in respect of the issuance of a pipeline certificate.
The bill does not concern a question that is outside federal jurisdiction. It does not clearly violate the Constitution Act. It does not concern a question that is substantially the same as one already voted on by the House of Commons. It does not concern a question that is currently on the order paper or notice paper as an item of government business.

The bill amends the Criminal Code to require a court to consider the fact that the victim of an assault was a public transit operator as an aggravating circumstance for the purposes of sentencing. There are currently three similar bills, C-402, C-531, and C-533, that have been reinstated in the House from the previous session, but none have been voted on yet. They're not even on the order of precedence.

I need a motion that the subcommittee present a report listing those items that it has determined should not be designated non-votable and recommending that they be considered by the House.
