As there are no objections on the report, I'd like to see if we have consent to accept both bills as votable right from the get-go. Is that agreed?

Agreed.

David Graham Liberal Laurentides—Labelle, QC

In that case, I move that the subcommittee present the report listing those items that have been determined should not be designated non-votable and recommending that they be considered by the House.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Filomena Tassi

All agreed?

(Motion agreed to)

Is that votable or non-votable?

1:15 p.m.

Liberal

David Graham Liberal Laurentides—Labelle, QC

It's that the subcommittee present the report listing those items that it has determined should not be designated non-votable. It's a double negative.

1:15 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Filomena Tassi

It's a double negative. Yes. I know it always....

1:15 p.m.

Some hon. members

Oh, oh!

1:15 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Filomena Tassi

Okay. Very good.

The next meeting for everyone to note will be on February 26 at 9:15 a.m. We're going to consider all items added in the next replenishment. The location for that meeting is right here.

1:15 p.m.

An hon. member

What day of the week is that?

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Filomena Tassi

It's a Monday. Is everyone okay?

Blake, is everything good?

Blake Richards Conservative Banff—Airdrie, AB

This time works really well because it's right after committee. Irene is the only person who it's a challenge for, but maybe we could get someone who doesn't have a committee right before it to come. This is easy for the rest of us. We're all here anyway.

1:15 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Filomena Tassi

Yes. We're going to look into that. The clerk is going to look into that and we'll see if can try and have it the same....

1:15 p.m.

Conservative

Blake Richards Conservative Banff—Airdrie, AB

It works for us, that's for sure.

1:15 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Filomena Tassi

Okay. Very good.

We're adjourned. Thank you.
