Veterans Affairs committee  It's up to the committee to decide.

Veterans Affairs committee  We would be back on Tuesday. I sent out the itinerary yesterday.

Veterans Affairs committee  If we go to Goose Bay on Wednesday, I'll just have to ask CFB Goose Bay if they can accommodate us on that day. I don't have an answer right now, but I could get back to the committee.

Veterans Affairs committee  I'll try. I'll talk to CFB Goose Bay.

Veterans Affairs committee  Six west and six east.

Veterans Affairs committee  It's six including the chair. Basically, the chair goes on only one side. Because there are twelve members of the committee, we split it right down the line in the middle. So six members will go on one side, and a different set of six members will go on the other side.

Veterans Affairs committee  When the logistics officer called, that's the quote we got for the time of year when we're going. Obviously if we find that a charter is cheaper, the money that is over budget will come back in that case. But we always go with what is cheapest. That is the quote we got. If member

Veterans Affairs committee  We've already sent the “blues” of the meeting. The only problem is that they are unofficial, untranslated documents of the House of Commons.

Veterans Affairs committee  It depends on whom you ask. Some committees do things one way; some do things differently. The other question with this motion is that the 48-hour period is interpreted as two sleeps and not exactly 48 hours. If I receive a notice of motion between five o'clock and six o'clock,

Veterans Affairs committee  Well, the way I see it personally is that the notice is for members to take notice and study a motion before they discuss it in committee. This motion stems from the House; there, if a member files a motion at six o'clock, the member will have until seven o'clock—till the House

Veterans Affairs committee  That's something we—all the clerks of the committees directorate—discussed. The question is—It's up to the committee to decide. Do the 48 hours start when I receive the motion or do the 48 hours start when I send out the motion for your notice? It's up to you to decide.

Veterans Affairs committee  What happens is that procedure and House affairs sits at the same time as us. They always sit from 11 to 1. They don't change like we do. The reason for that is that the procedure and House affairs committee requires the presence of the whips of every party and they have to be in

Veterans Affairs committee  No. The Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs only sits from 11 to 1, which is our block. There are other blocks, and I have the committee block schedule. If you would like, I can hand those out to all the members so they can see what the different options are.
