It actually had the timeline. He gavelled it closed, and then said, “The in camera session now has started.” That's what the last minutes say.
How did we get an agenda that says we must go in camera when we don't have an agreement that we were going to do that? If we don't have an agreement, Chair, I would suggest that the motion is absolutely in order, since the committee decides how it wants to conduct its business, not the chair of the committee unilaterally deciding how the committee conducts its business.
The committee decided on the question rotation, the amount of time. We did that by a vote. That's how we decided upon that.
We decided upon the witness list by the committee saying “Put your witness list in.” We then saw selections, by the chair and the clerk helping put things together, which is normal practice.
What I'm saying to you now, Chair, is that we don't have agreement on an in camera session for committee business. We need to have that agreement or not. Since we have now asked for it not to be in camera, I think you're compelled, quite frankly, to have a vote.
Now, whichever way the vote goes will make that determination, because you don't have agreement for an in camera session.
