Status of Women Committee on March 5th, 2013

[The Chair, NDP, Marie-Claude Morin]

We don't want to go off on a witch-hunt either.

Thank you very much.

We now move to the committee business section of the agenda.

Wait a moment. I have to correct what I said about the articles; the articles are already in our package. We have them all here.

I am going to suspend the meeting for a few minutes so that people can take a break and get something to eat.

[The Chair, NDP, Marie-Claude Morin]

I just wanted to make it clear to the committee that, at the moment, we are scheduled to study the committee business in public. I wanted to make you aware of that.

Do you want to continue the meeting in camera?

[Susan Truppe, Conservative, London North Centre, ON]

I didn't realize it... it's never usually in public.

[The Chair, NDP, Marie-Claude Morin]

Mrs. Truppe is asking for the meeting to continue in camera.

Anyone opposed?

Mrs. Day, you have the floor.

[Anne-Marie Day, NDP, Charlesbourg—Haute-Saint-Charles, QC]

We are opposed, because the request has already been made in public. This is about rewording it.

[The Chair, NDP, Marie-Claude Morin]

Are you talking about the notice of motion?

[Anne-Marie Day, NDP, Charlesbourg—Haute-Saint-Charles, QC]

Yes.

[The Chair, NDP, Marie-Claude Morin]

In that case, do we wish to vote?

I think we do.

[Susan Truppe, Conservative, London North Centre, ON]

Are we voting on whether or not we're going in camera? Is that what we're voting on?

[The Chair, NDP, Marie-Claude Morin]

Yes.

So we will move to a vote.

(Motion agreed to)

So I am required to suspend the meeting, so that we can move in camera.

[Proceedings continue in camera]
