Public Safety Committee on March 1st, 2011

[The Chair, Conservative, Kevin Sorenson]

(Reporting of the bill to the House agreed to [See Minutes of Proceedings])

All right. That carries on division.

Shall the committee order a reprint of this bill?

A recorded vote, please.

(Reprinting of the bill agreed to: yeas 8; nays 3)

All right. That carries on division.

I want to thank our guests for attending our committee today and for their input. It is greatly appreciated.

I want to thank each committee member.

Just before you leave, committee members, we do have a budget here that's not on the agenda.

Roger, would you explain what this budget does?

[The Clerk]

Yes, Chair. This is to assume expenses for witnesses on our expansion of penitentiaries study. It's $20,000, providing for 15 witnesses at an average of $1,200 per witness, so it's just to cover expenses for witnesses.

[Alexandra Mendes, Liberal, Brossard—La Prairie, QC]

I move it.

[The Chair, Conservative, Kevin Sorenson]

It's housekeeping It's not a trip. It's not any other travel. It's simply for the witnesses who we bring forward on this study. Does anyone want this circulated or are you ready for the vote on this? Everything is disclosed. It's just a housekeeping budget. It's moved by Madame Mendes. All in favour?

(Motion agreed to)

That's carried unanimously.

Thank you very much. We'll see you on Thursday.

We are adjourned.
