Transport Committee on Nov. 1st, 2012

[The Chair, Conservative, Larry Miller]

Unless I hear any dissension, I'm going to ask for a friendly amendment to the amendment, which would basically change it from being just another meeting to adding two extra hours.

Is there any further discussion on the amendment?

[Olivia Chow, NDP, Trinity—Spadina, ON]

Can we have it recorded?

[The Chair, Conservative, Larry Miller]

Okay. Call the vote, please.

(Amendment negatived: nays 6; yeas 5)

I declare the amendment defeated.

Is there any further discussion on the main motion? I'm going to call the question.

[Olivia Chow, NDP, Trinity—Spadina, ON]

I'd like a recorded vote.

[The Chair, Conservative, Larry Miller]

It's a recorded vote.

Please call the vote, Mr. Clerk.

[Denis Coderre, Liberal, Bourassa, QC]

May I ask for a point of information just beforehand?

[The Chair, Conservative, Larry Miller]

Yes, go ahead, Mr. Coderre.

[Denis Coderre, Liberal, Bourassa, QC]

Does Ms. Chow's motion address the request submitted to us by the Standing Committee on Finance ?

If that is the case, I don't know why we should hold this vote, since we only have to vote for...

What I'm saying is that regardless of the motion, it's already in the letter of Chair Rajotte. Why do we want a motion on that if we already have it? Is it just to make the news?

[Olivia Chow, NDP, Trinity—Spadina, ON]

No.

[Denis Coderre, Liberal, Bourassa, QC]

Okay.

[Olivia Chow, NDP, Trinity—Spadina, ON]

We are the master of our committee.

[An hon. member]

All the committees are doing this.

[Olivia Chow, NDP, Trinity—Spadina, ON]

Yes.

[The Chair, Conservative, Larry Miller]

I think the motion can come forward.

[Denis Coderre, Liberal, Bourassa, QC]

All I'm asking is why we can't support this letter as a motion that's included in what Olivia wants to study. It's already in.

[The Chair, Conservative, Larry Miller]

Well, it's because she didn't add it to it, Mr. Coderre.

[Denis Coderre, Liberal, Bourassa, QC]

Okay.

Do you want me to make an amendment or...? Go ahead.

[The Chair, Conservative, Larry Miller]

I'm going to call the recorded vote.

(Motion negatived: nays 6; yeas 5)

We now move on to the fourth report of the subcommittee on agenda and procedure.

Does everybody—

[Olivia Chow, NDP, Trinity—Spadina, ON]

Mr. Chair, I have a point of order.

[The Chair, Conservative, Larry Miller]

Proceed.

[Olivia Chow, NDP, Trinity—Spadina, ON]

Will this committee be studying, next...?

[The Chair, Conservative, Larry Miller]

Yes.

[Olivia Chow, NDP, Trinity—Spadina, ON]

Oh, we are.

[The Chair, Conservative, Larry Miller]

Yes, it will be on Tuesday.

[Olivia Chow, NDP, Trinity—Spadina, ON]

Then, do we not need to—
