Michel Patrice
Procedure and House Affairs committee Yes, I will provide you the decision taken by the Board of Internal Economy. The governance model will be defined, frankly, by the members of that working group, but obviously, that working group, as per the discussion at the Board, will report to the Board, and it will also cons

Michel Patrice
Procedure and House Affairs committee I will do my best.
May 14th, 2019Committee meeting
Michel Patrice
Procedure and House Affairs committee We're going to adapt to the requirements of the House of Commons. Obviously, we've been listening with interest to the committee's discussions on the parallel chamber and are looking forward to the report of the committee and the decision of the House on this matter. It's our rol
May 14th, 2019Committee meeting
Michel Patrice
Procedure and House Affairs committee It depends on the size of the parallel chamber that you're talking about. I've read and learned that in some jurisdictions the size is not necessarily as significant as the existing chamber.
May 14th, 2019Committee meeting
Michel Patrice
Procedure and House Affairs committee We've got quite a few options, if that's the case.

Michel Patrice
Procedure and House Affairs committee Yes, we have taken that into account and have received two names for that working group, and are waiting for the third one, which I believe I'm going to receive this week.

May 14th, 2019Committee meeting
Michel Patrice
Procedure and House Affairs committee I understand that. For some of the decisions, the beauty of communication right now is that we're going to be able to reach them. We'll have to assess whether there are key decisions that affect members that would need to be made between, let's say, June and the post-election per
May 14th, 2019Committee meeting
Michel Patrice
Procedure and House Affairs committee Obviously, there are going to be some decisions made regarding the demolition of the building, and so on. I could be wrong, but I'm not sure that you're interested in making decisions on that piece.
May 14th, 2019Committee meeting
Michel Patrice
Procedure and House Affairs committee We can certainly provide you a list of what I would say are key elements, or eye-level elements, of the decisions that need to be made. The timing depends also on the members, so I won't commit to timing. If a decision needs to wait until the members are ready to make that deci
