Was the motion moved? I thought I moved the motion, so do we just call the question or...?
Matthew Dubé NDP Beloeil—Chambly, QC
You asked us if someone was ready to table the motion for the joint meeting, which I agreed to do. I don't know....

The Chair Liberal John McKay
Yes, you did, and I forgot all about it.
(Motion agreed to)
Another victory for democracy.
I'm sorry that I wandered away from the conservation. I apologize for that.

I have a question. Do you need a motion for the clerk to investigate having the Canadian Mental Health Association come next to look at the road to mental readiness?
I'll move that, if it can be done next week. I don't want it to interfere with legislation or our study, but if we could have them come in next week for one meeting, I'll move that motion.

The Chair Liberal John McKay
Is there any discussion?
(Motion agreed to)
Okay. That's guidance to the subcommittee.
Is there anything else?

Briefly for the benefit of the subcommittee, the study on indigenous corrections was a point of some importance to the committee as a whole and its formation at the time, and it remains a high priority for the Liberal side of this committee. If we can make sure that we fairly expediently find those four, five, or six sessions within the relatively intense legislative agenda that we have this fall and make sure that we can execute and deliver on this study, I would be grateful. I think it has slid backwards a couple of times in the agenda-setting process in the past term, but I think we should keep our eyes on that and give it the due priority it deserves.

Mr. Chair, would the clerk be able to distribute the motion for that study to the committee members? We do have a number of new ones, and what you read was fairly lengthy.

Mr. Chair, I recommend that the subcommittee should focus on the proposed program, select topics for discussion, and then submit its proposals to the committee.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal John McKay
That is the idea of having the subcommittee afterwards.
Okay? That's good. Thank you. The meeting is adjourned.
