The clerk will inform them that we're not able to go at this particular time.

Vance Badawey Liberal Niagara Centre, ON

Madam Chair, unanimous consent, I'm assuming, means of the three parties. I thought we had already discussed this and nailed down a date, so who in this room is not in support of us going? I was under the impression that before it went to the House, we had unanimous consent.

But it takes more than just the folks who are sitting in this room.

Mr. Berthold.

We need to move on. We're still in public session here.

9:30 a.m.

Conservative

Luc Berthold Conservative Mégantic—L'Érable, QC

Just before we conclude the public hearing, I'd like to reply to Mr. Badaway by reminding him that even within the committee, there was no unanimous consent on the trip. The NDP and the official opposition voted against it. There was a vote in the House on this and you voted in favour of it.

The Chair Liberal Judy Sgro

We need to be going in camera for those discussions.

If you don't mind, I'm going to move that we go in camera.
