Vote #537

[The Speaker, Liberal, Geoff Regan]

I declare the motion carried.

[Andrew Scheer, Conservative, Regina—Qu'Appelle, SK]

Mr. Speaker, on a point of order, I want to bring to the attention of the House a unanimous consent motion that I will seek approval from the House for.

Just a few hours ago, we learned through the media that the government is now offering me a briefing on the Jaspal Atwal affair from the national security adviser. The explanation was that it would be in my capacity as a privy councillor. I notice that members of the media who were on the conference call with the national security adviser were not members of the Privy Council.

I would seek unanimous consent to propose the following motion: That motions to concur in all opposed items listed on the notice paper under interim estimates be deemed adopted on division; that the motion to concur in the unopposed votes be deemed adopted on division; that Bill C-73, an act for granting to Her Majesty certain sums of money for the federal public administration for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2019, be deemed introduced and read a first time, deemed read a second time, deemed referred to a committee of the whole, deemed considered by the committee of the whole and reported back to the House without amendment, deemed concurred in at report stage, deemed read a third time and passed, and that the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security be instructed to summon the Prime Minister's national security adviser, Mr. Daniel Jean, to appear before the committee to give the same briefing to members of Parliament that was given to members of the media on February 23, 2018, and that the briefing take place no later than March 30, 2018.
