Transport committee  You need authority from the House to travel, so I cannot make any financial commitment that would involve the aircraft.

Transport committee  Yes. The budget is not active, if you will, until the House says we can travel.

Transport committee  I would prefer to put it off. I'd like to see the transcript.

Transport committee  He's in fact moving it. You gave him the floor, presumably on a point of order.

Transport committee  Generally, you can't move a motion on a point of order. Once he's given the floor, he can.

Transport committee  The motion reads as follows: Whereas the municipality associations have confirmed that they have not received complaints and have not requested that bodies of water be added, I ask that the Committee immediately cease its study of the Navigation Protection Act.

Transport committee  Unless there is unanimous consent, normally there is a notice period.

Transport committee  I count nine yeas.

Transport committee  That the Committee, after noting that the Minister of Transport has reached his own conclusions on the necessary amendments to the Navigation Protection Act, immediately cease its study of the Navigation Protection Act .

Transport committee  As it hasn't met the notice requirements.

Transport committee  These are public proceedings and Ms. Young is free to participate in any way she sees fit.

Transport committee  The Standing Orders say that non-members may participate in public proceedings to the extent that the committee allows. That, to me, means it's a question that's decided by a majority vote, not by unanimous consent.

Transport committee  It has been moved by Mr. Iacono that Mr. Aubin to be elected as the second vice-chair of the committee. The committee has heard the terms of the motion. Is it the pleasure of the committee to adopt the motion?

Transport committee  Pursuant to Standing Order 106(2), the second vice-chair must be a member of an opposition party other than the official opposition. I am now ready to receive a motion to that effect. Mr. Iacono, you have the floor.

Transport committee  (Motion agreed to)
