I propose an amendment of up to “two additional meetings”, because I know that one of the slots wasn't necessarily filled already, so....
Conservative
Todd Doherty Conservative Cariboo—Prince George, BC
Yes, I'm fine with that.
I'm sure all colleagues are getting requests to appear here. I know we are. We will endeavour to have...and perhaps, Mr. Chair, we can, as a committee, come up with a date as to when we have to supply the clerk with the witnesses.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Vance Badawey
Thank you, Mr. Doherty.
Let's vote on the amendment first.
(Amendment agreed to)
To the amended motion, and attached to that—Mr. Doherty, you're correct—if in fact we are going to add additional witnesses, we do have to come up with a date by which to have those witnesses in.
Conservative
Todd Doherty Conservative Cariboo—Prince George, BC
By the end of April.
Sorry. Did you mean the date for the witnesses?
Conservative
Todd Doherty Conservative Cariboo—Prince George, BC
That will depend if the House is sitting.
What we will endeavour to do, from our side, is to have a list of witnesses—I don't have my calendar here—
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Vance Badawey
Is that fine, Madam clerk?
Okay, we'll have the witnesses in by March 20. Is that good? I see all of the staff nodding their heads. That's a good thing.
Are there no further questions on the amended motion?
The clerk has asked me if we can prioritize the witness lists.

The Chair Liberal Vance Badawey
Okay, with nothing further, all those in favour?

My concerns have been let out of the bag. I don't think going in camera is necessary at this point.

Going back to a couple of previous resolutions that we tabled—the one on the gas tax fund, for example—I think I'd like to put that to the floor today for the committee to vote on. We've added amendments here that were introduced by Mr. Doherty and a couple of others. I'd like to see that motion adopted.
The other one I was going to make reference to is Mr. Barsalou-Duval's motion on the controller. I think it was two meetings that he suggested.
I propose that we vote on these motions today, Mr. Chair.

Do you need copies?
These were already previously distributed, but we—
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Vance Badawey
Right.
I'm assuming, Mr. Rogers, that you're tabling the motion for the gas tax. Are you tabling the other one too, or are we going to go to Mr. Barsalou-Duval for that?
Liberal
Churence Rogers Liberal Bonavista—Burin—Trinity, NL
Mr. Barsalou-Duval might want to do that one, but I suggest we try to get these into the business discussion so that we can structure our business going forward.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Vance Badawey
Okay.
I'll take that motion right now and then go to Mr. Barsalou-Duval. Then I'm going to go to the Conservatives, because Mr. Davidson has two motions as well.
Turning to this motion, we all have a copy of it. It was distributed earlier, and we also have it being distributed now.
That motion having been moved, are there questions or comments on the motion?
All those in favour please signify.
