Procedure and House Affairs committee  Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The goal, Mr. Richards.... As you know, from a scheduling perspective, for committees, the approach was that we could schedule up to six committees in parallel, pre-COVID. Currently, as you know, we have windows that are smaller than that, basically due t

Procedure and House Affairs committee  If the COVID environment remains the same, I don't see a reduction of committees, at least from my team and my team's ability to support you in the committees, from that perspective. If the COVID environment doesn't change, I wouldn't see a reduction. That wouldn't impact our cap

Procedure and House Affairs committee  We're striving for that, sir. We're striving to bring it back to where it was previously.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  The plan, sir, if we decide to move forward with this, is that we would have people looking at real-time monitoring during these voting processes, sir, so that we could actually oversee and ensure that everything is properly happening during the voting process, both from a suppor
