Procedure and House Affairs committee  It would be kept—

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Thank you, Ms. Redman. No, it hasn't impeded any travel as such. The committee charged me with asking if all whips were unanimous in their support when it comes to site visits or conferences within the national capital region. Once again, the liaison committee would commit the funds, if there were any funds.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Sure. Thank you, Mr. Lukiwski. It is really just being able to organize the logistics behind getting that motion ready and out there. A lot of times it's last minute—this is where we want to travel within the capital—so it's getting the motion on the docket at the proper time. I realize it will probably help some of the people behind the scenes more.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Once again, this is really a procedural versus a logistical consideration. Marleau and Montpetit state that any meetings outside the precinct of Parliament need to be moved by a motion in the House. We're just trying to streamline how we deal with things, but also realizing that the whips need to understand where the members are at all times.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs for hearing me. I think I'd rather be asking the questions than be the witness, but we'll go ahead with the process here. As chair of the liaison committee, I've been requested to have a look at how we travel within the national capital region and how we receive authorization from the House.
