Transport Committee on June 10th, 2014

[David McGuinty, Liberal, Ottawa South, ON]

I do.

Can we please invite the Auditor General and fulfill the actual minutes of the proceedings and the agreement of this committee? Let's get the Auditor General to this committee on June 12.

[The Chair, Conservative, Larry Miller]

Are you making that a motion?

[David McGuinty, Liberal, Ottawa South, ON]

I'm asking for you to explain why the Auditor General will not be here on June 12.

[The Chair, Conservative, Larry Miller]

Are you making that a motion, that you want them to be added to Thursday's list?

[David McGuinty, Liberal, Ottawa South, ON]

Absolutely.

[The Chair, Conservative, Larry Miller]

Okay.

All in favour of the motion?

[Hoang Mai, NDP, Brossard—La Prairie, QC]

I'd like a clarification on that point of order, because I don't have the minutes of the meeting. For the record, can we know exactly what was decided, because I understand from your.... Anyway, we just need more information.

[The Chair, Conservative, Larry Miller]

What I'm trying to get at here is that clerk is right, in that we can't have a motion on a point of order. Is everyone here in favour of asking the Auditor General to come on Thursday?

[Some Hon. Members]

Yes.

No.

[The Chair, Conservative, Larry Miller]

(Motion negatived)

Okay, it's defeated.

Do you have another point of order?

[David McGuinty, Liberal, Ottawa South, ON]

I do.

[The Chair, Conservative, Larry Miller]

Mr. Watson.

[Jeff Watson, Conservative, Essex, ON]

I didn't get recognized, Mr. Chair.

[The Chair, Conservative, Larry Miller]

Well, you never said anything.

So, Mr. Watson.

[Jeff Watson, Conservative, Essex, ON]

Thank you.

I move that we proceed in camera.

[The Chair, Conservative, Larry Miller]

Are we in...?

[David McGuinty, Liberal, Ottawa South, ON]

What was the motion?

[The Chair, Conservative, Larry Miller]

The motion is to move in camera.

[David McGuinty, Liberal, Ottawa South, ON]

Is Mr. Watson providing any kind of...?

[Jeff Watson, Conservative, Essex, ON]

It's non-debatable.

[David McGuinty, Liberal, Ottawa South, ON]

I see. So we're shutting off the Canadian public right now, is that it?

[Jeff Watson, Conservative, Essex, ON]

Mr. Chair, there's no discussion.

[The Chair, Conservative, Larry Miller]

There is no discussion on it, and you know that. You've been around here as long as I have.

[David McGuinty, Liberal, Ottawa South, ON]

So we're shutting out the Canadian public. I've got it.

[The Chair, Conservative, Larry Miller]

No, we're going in camera.
