Evidence of meeting #3 for Public Safety and National Security in the 45th Parliament, 1st session. (The original version is on Parliament’s site, as are the minutes.) The winning word was plan.

You raise a good point. From a procedural standpoint, it is possible, despite the discomfort it may cause.
Ms. Dandurand, you have the floor.

I see that time is passing and I believe that the time allotted for the meeting has expired, but I have a question about what happens next. From now on, if we make what has been said public, does that also include the rest of the meeting? We don’t know what will happen next. That said, we may have reached the point where we need to adjourn the meeting.
In short, would the rest of the proceedings also become public?
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Jean-Yves Duclos
I believe so, since the entire meeting would be made public. It is a bit unusual, actually. It would become public even though we voted for the meeting to be held in camera. That’s how it is.

Marianne Dandurand Liberal Compton—Stanstead, QC
That would include what happens next, even though we don’t yet know what will happen.

The Chair Liberal Jean-Yves Duclos
The decision rests with the committee.
Madam Clerk, could you please read the motion?
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Jean-Yves Duclos
We must hold a recorded division.

I move that the meeting be adjourned, as the scheduled end time has been reached.

The Chair Liberal Jean-Yves Duclos
Very well, that is what I will do, since it is already past 1 p.m.
The meeting is adjourned.
