Procedure and House Affairs committee  I'm sorry to interrupt you again, Dr. Brodie. The interpreters are indicating that the sound quality still isn't good. I think it was working well when you were holding it up closer to your mouth. I apologize again. Go ahead.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  I'm sorry to interrupt. Madam Chair, it appears that the sound quality for Dr. Brodie isn't sufficient for the interpreters to continue. Dr. Brodie, please lift your microphone a bit closer to your mouth. That might help.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Mr. Turnbull, it's Justin here in the committee room. You might want to unplug your mike and plug it back in. That sometimes addresses the issue. Madam Chair, we'll have to suspend while we try to fix this.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Madam Chair, we will do very quick sound checks for our next two witnesses.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Madam Chair, I can confirm that P9 accounts for all the members would be included in that distribution, along with other identified staff members.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Yes, Madam Chair. I'm just letting them in now. I'll do a quick sound check for the one witness who wasn't here earlier, and then you'll be able to get under way. Madam Chair, we tested the other two witnesses earlier, so, you're ready to go with the second panel.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Madam Chair, we'll look into it, determine what the issue is with the phone lines, and try to resolve it.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Madam Chair, we'll look into what the issue is here if you would suspend very briefly.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Yes, Madam Chair. I can amend the report to include the Saskatchewan group as well. And since we're on the point, I would also let you know that I've heard back a second time from the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, and they are still not available to appear. So what we would have remaining is an outstanding invitation to the Union of British Columbia Municipalities, and I can also get in touch with the Saskatchewan group.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Madam Chair, you don't. You can proceed, if there's consent, to group them all together, and then indicate that they're on division, if that is the will of the committee, and I could minute it accordingly.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Madam Chair, before you move on, generally there's also a motion asking you to report the estimates back to the House. It is a formality, but you can proceed with it very quickly.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Madam Chair, sorry, it's the clerk again. Our witness has not entered the waiting room or meeting yet; we are still waiting on that person. We're trying to get hold of him so that he can appear. We don't have the witness right now.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Madam Chair, unfortunately, CARP cancelled yesterday, and so we no longer have them.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Yes. I apologize. Members of the committee, the question before the committee is to proceed in camera at this point. (Motion negatived: nays 6; yeas 5)

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Madam Chair, there seems to be a problem with the Clerk's audio. We'll look into it. Could you suspend for a minute or so?
