Let's vote on the schedule, or annexe in French.
(Schedule as amended agreed to on division)

That's fine.
Let's move on to the next steps.
Shall the title of the bill carry?

Shall the chair report the bill as amended to the House?

Is the committee ordering the reprint of the bill as amended?
Conservative
The Vice-Chair Conservative Pierre Paul-Hus
Under the current procedure, the recommendation can't be an integral part of the bill. However, as in the case of Bill C-83, the recommendation will be made at the same time. The analysts would need information to write the recommendation.

Okay.
We have finished the part on the bill, but someone raised the possibility of making a separate recommendation, and we agreed to discuss it. We have examined the procedure with the clerk's help.
I will just let Mr. Eglinski make his recommendation.
Conservative
The Vice-Chair Conservative Pierre Paul-Hus
The clerk explained the procedure to me and I will let him tell you about it.
The Clerk of the Committee Mr. Naaman Sugrue
There are a couple of different ways we can go about it, but effectively the committee can either go by motion or agree to make certain recommendations. We can either do it by a motion that is then amended to include whatever recommendations are desired, or separate motions to report certain recommendations. My advice would be to include any and all recommendations the committee adopts in one report, but it's up to the committee to decide what those will be.

My understanding is that everything related to the bill itself is done. Maybe we can look at the report where the recommendations can be made as a second step. We can give time to Mr. Eglinski to write the recommendation he wants to propose.

Ms. Sahota and Mr. Eglinski are now ready to make their recommendations.
Let's start with you, Mr. Eglinski.
Conservative
Jim Eglinski Conservative Yellowhead, AB
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I move that:
That the Committee recommends that the Parole Board, which has a mandate to deliver services quickly, effectively and efficiently, use technology to enable them to better serve Canadians, and that the Minister has a requirement to provide high-quality services to all Canadians, reflecting past recommendations of the Auditor General on program delivery as well as his mandate from the Prime Minister to serve Canadians. Therefore, be it resolved that, the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security recommends the Minister immediately look to implement electronic submissions for record suspensions, in particular for those mentioned in C-93, An Act to provide no-cost, expedited record suspensions for simple possession of cannabis.
