Needless to say, the motion has passed.
Let me just reread what we've just done. The committee has adopted the motion of Ms. Mourani:
That the Committee prepare and present to the House, before June 23, 2006, a report recommending that the government draft, before October 31, 2006, or any other date the Committee deems advisable, a bill on pay equity.
It was adopted without amendment.
We have a couple of routine motions in front of you that had problems with translation.
Would someone like to read motion number 9 into the record?. Again, there was an issue with translation. Does everyone have it in front of them?
This was an issue of staff being able to attend, which was in the English translation and not in the French translation. We wanted to make sure that those were quite specific--and that a member of the government party would also be required to be there. Does everyone have it in front of them? We're dealing only with motion 9 right now:
That the Chair be authorized to hold meetings to receive and publish evidence when a quorum is not present provided that at least 3 members are present, including a member of the opposition.
We're amending it to read that a member of the government party also be there. It's pretty routine.
(Motion agreed to)
