Procedure and House Affairs committee  The vote is on the subamendment by Mr. Richards.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Okay.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Yes, Madam Chair. As of right now, all of these recommendations that the members are looking at are suggestions until such time as they decide to put them into the report. The recommendation that the committee is considering right now is merely a suggestion. It's not, formally speaking, part of the report, so there's nothing, per se, to strike.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  If that's the will of the committee and the way they want to proceed, essentially it turns the decision into a kind of informal consensus to go forward. That would be fine.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Madam Chair, we're going to get an IT ambassador to call Mr. Brassard to see if they can address the technical issue.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Madam Chair, I don't have any additional information, other than they are continuing to work on it. I don't have a sense at this point of just what sort of issue it is or how long it may take to address it.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Madam Chair, that's right in the information that was emailed to all members of the committee. It includes emails for staff members as well. The emails list a phone line, called Resolve, that staff members can use to call in. There are code numbers for them to choose the floor feed, the English feed or the French feed.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  That's exactly right. That's where the information would be. The distribution list contains staffers of the different members.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  I'm told that the technicians are aware of the problem and they're working on trying to resolve the issue. It appears to be an issue with ParlVU. They are on it, and they're trying to address it right now.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Yes, Madam Chair, the meeting is being fully recorded for the purpose of Parliamentary Publications. In that sense, the meeting is still completely and properly in order. There is the issue with the transmission from ParlVU, which, as I mentioned, they are trying to address right now.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  If the wording of the recommendation is to cover the various activities that go on during a sitting day, "proceedings" might be the more accurate way to reflect it in your suggested recommendation.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Hello, Mr. Tochor. One of the issues that we would have for me as the clerk to distribute it is, of course, that one of our routine motions for the committee requires that I can only distribute material to the committee if it is in both official languages. It creates an impediment for me to be able to distribute it in an official capacity.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Mr. Richards, the chair is correct. Those tend to be the types of considerations that come into play. For example, during a clause-by-clause meeting when the committee is considering various amendments, occasionally when an amendment gets adopted, it has the effect or the impact of knocking out other ones.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Yes, hello, Ms. Blaney. My understanding is that the Speaker and the Clerk's office wanted to share that material with the committee so that committee members would be aware of the contents of the letter as they begin to look at the recommendations for their own PROC report.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  I'd simply echo what you said: by 5 p.m. on Thursday, May 14, in both official languages.
