Mr. Chair, it's difficult for members attending virtually to follow along.
I just want to mention that when the vote on NDP-1 happened, had we been in the room as non-members of the committee but obliged to be here by the motion that committee passed, I would have known if anyone had voted for NDP-1. All I know is that it was rejected.
It has to do with cameras. If the camera is only on the speaker, I can't see the hands. I wonder if the committee or the clerk would oblige members in my position, which I guess tonight is Jenny Kwan and me. If one of our amendments is put to a vote, could it at least be stated, as the voting takes place, that the vote unanimously rejected the motion or that one member from party X voted to support it?
I don't know that we'll ever be able to catch up and find out if anyone supported our amendments when we're in the position of members of Parliament from non-recognized parties.
If it's not helpful and the scene is obstructive, forget about it. I just wanted to let you know that we can't tell from virtual participation whether our amendments have had any votes at all in favour of them.
