Bill C-30 (39th Parliament, 1st Session) committee  Okay. There was a minority report also as part of that report. Is that part of it?

Bill C-30 (39th Parliament, 1st Session) committee  So will it be part of it--the minority report?

Bill C-30 (39th Parliament, 1st Session) committee  Thank you. I support that.

Bill C-30 (39th Parliament, 1st Session) committee  I was just going to mention that the timing of the environment committee is Tuesday and Thursday, I believe from eleven o'clock to one o'clock. Maybe we could discuss having our first meeting on the Monday afternoon, or was that in conflict with the transport committee?

Bill C-30 (39th Parliament, 1st Session) committee  Maybe the clerk and you, Mr. Chair, can have the discretion of setting a time. We're tentatively setting January 29, but if that's not going to work, you can let us know when it will be. We can be flexible.

Bill C-30 (39th Parliament, 1st Session) committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. I appreciate the good discussion on this. December 19 is fine with the government. We'll all have our list of witnesses. As Ms. Redman pointed out, as we each prepare a list of potential witnesses, only a percentage of those will be available. Also it depe

Bill C-30 (39th Parliament, 1st Session) committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. We're discussing how to receive adequate notice. The norm is 48 hours. The proposal is 24 hours, but 24 hours is not 24 hours. However, we don't realize what time the meeting is going to be starting. Many of us are going to be on the environment committee a

Bill C-30 (39th Parliament, 1st Session) committee  Mr. Cullen raises the issue of why we use 48 hours. The 24 hours is defined as being by six o'clock the day prior. So if the motion is presented to the clerk's office by six o'clock, before the office closes, then it's deemed acceptable as the 24 hours. The way that plays out,

Bill C-30 (39th Parliament, 1st Session) committee  I have a question, Mr. Chair. Is it at all possible that we are going to be using technology like video conferencing? Is that going to be considered for witnesses if possible?

Bill C-30 (39th Parliament, 1st Session) committee  Thank you.

Bill C-30 (39th Parliament, 1st Session) committee  I so move. (Motion agreed to)

Bill C-30 (39th Parliament, 1st Session) committee  Mr. Chair, my question was also for members of the Liberal Party. Mr. Wilson shared that you have discretion and that you could possibly deviate from the policy sometimes. Ms. Redman mentioned the spirit of goodwill, the presumption of goodwill. This is our first meeting. We are

Bill C-30 (39th Parliament, 1st Session) committee  Mr. Chairman, I think we want to proceed in the spirit of fairness. The concern we have on this side is that everybody be given an opportunity to ask a question of the witnesses. What's being proposed is of concern, and I think that's been adequately expressed. Would there be a

Bill C-30 (39th Parliament, 1st Session) committee  Then my question is to Monsieur Bigras. Would you accept the addition of “that the meeting would not end until every member of the committee who wanted to ask a question would be given an opportunity before the meeting ended” as a friendly amendment?

Bill C-30 (39th Parliament, 1st Session) committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. I want to clarify what's being proposed. The norm is that in the round of questioning, it would be a member of the Liberal Party, then a member of the Bloc, then a member of the NDP Party, and then a member of the government party, the Conservative Party.
