Environment committee  The vote is to adjourn debate. (Motion agreed to: yeas 7; nays 4)

Environment committee  It's Mr. Longfield, then Mr. Weiler and then Ms. Collins.

Environment committee  We should be able to do it pretty quickly, to have it ready and then to table it by the end of the week at this point. It depends on the motion that you adopt for the timeline. We should be okay to have it ready for tabling.

Environment committee  It's considered a subamendment.

Environment committee  I'm sorry. It's an amendment to the motion.

Environment committee  We'll now proceed to a recorded division on the motion of Ms. Laurel Collins.

Environment committee  As of right now, the committee information is archived, so they would need to pass a motion to bring that evidence back and to reaccess it at the present time.

Environment committee  It's business-day nights. If members submitted a motion on Friday before 4 p.m., it would be admissible on Tuesday at that point.

Environment committee  It could be moved on Monday. My apologies.

Environment committee  Reasonable expenses will be held. As of right now, the routine motion that was passed in the House on November 25 said that all witnesses are to appear virtually for the time being. As long as that motion is still in effect, witnesses will be appearing virtually for committee meetings.

Environment committee  Honourable members of the committee, I see a quorum. I must inform members that the clerk of the committee can only receive motions for the election of the chair. The clerk cannot receive other types of motions, entertain points of order or participate in debate. We can now proceed to the election of the chair.

Environment committee  It has been moved by Mr. Albas that Mr. Scarpaleggia be elected as chair of the committee. Are there any further motions? (Motion agreed to) I declare the motion carried and Mr. Scarpaleggia duly elected chair of the committee. I invite Mr. Scarpaleggia to take the chair.
