Refine by MP, party, committee, province, or result type.
Agriculture committee I think that the issue has been resolved, Mr. Chair. I can hear the French channel very well right now. Please try again and accept our apologies.

The Clerk
Agriculture committee Could you start again, please? I believe that the issue has been resolved.
January 26th, 2021Committee meeting
The Clerk
Agriculture committee Yes. Our technicians will check whether the sound quality can be improved on Mr. Davies' end. In the meantime, perhaps you could ask the other witness some questions.

The Clerk of the Committee
Agriculture committee Fine. If everyone agrees, that's how we'll proceed. Thank you.
May 5th, 2020Committee meeting
The Clerk
Agriculture committee I think that it would be possible. However, the interpretation won't be simultaneous, but consecutive. In other words, it won't take place while you're speaking, but after you've finished speaking.
May 5th, 2020Committee meeting
The Clerk
Agriculture committee Can I say something, Mr. Chair?
May 5th, 2020Committee meeting
The Clerk
Agriculture committee I want to tell the committee quickly that I confirmed that May 25 is the date, unless the whips of all the recognized parties agree on a later date. It would also be very helpful if the committee could clarify which people it would like to meet with on Friday. Do you want to meet with the minister, or do you already want to identify some organizations that we would invite on your behalf?
May 5th, 2020Committee meeting
The Clerk
Agriculture committee Good question. I believe that May 25 is the applicable date. While you're continuing your discussion, I can check this date on my end and then get back to you.
May 5th, 2020Committee meeting
The Clerk
Agriculture committee Yes, Mr. Chair, you're right. The committee received an order of reference from the House of Commons to sit for the sole purpose of hearing evidence regarding the current pandemic at this time. This won't prevent the committee from potentially collecting all this evidence. When the House and its committees start meeting again in a more traditional manner, I don't believe that anything will prevent the committee from taking into account the evidence collected virtually during this time of crisis in order to make recommendations to the government and to the House.

Health committee During the last two Parliaments, at least, there was almost always a full quorum, with a majority of committee members. So the reduced quorum was rarely used.
January 29th, 2020Committee meeting
The Clerk
Health committee Mr. Thériault, I was telling Mr. McKinnon, the newly elected Chair, that this motion was identical to the one passed at the beginning of the previous parliament. To be specific, however, for historical reasons and for the information of yourself and the committee, in the last minority government, the third session of the 40th Parliament, this motion simply said that the reduced quorum required at least three members, including at least one opposition member.
January 29th, 2020Committee meeting
The Clerk
Health committee It is a good question, but, unfortunately, I am not able to answer it.
January 29th, 2020Committee meeting
The Clerk
Health committee Are there any further motions? No. Since there is more than one candidate nominated for the position of second vice-chair, it's our duty to proceed by secret ballot, pursuant to the Standing Orders of the House of Commons. Before proceeding, I will very briefly explain the process.
January 29th, 2020Committee meeting
The Clerk
Health committee Do we have any further motions? (Motion agreed to) I declare the motion carried and Mr. Jeneroux duly elected first vice-chair of this committee.
January 29th, 2020Committee meeting
The Clerk
Health committee Still pursuant to the Standing Orders, the second vice-chair must be a member of an opposition party other than the official opposition. I am now prepared to receive motions for the second vice-chair.
