Procedure and House Affairs committee  I would first like to address a point that Ms. Lapointe raised earlier. Facebook recently announced there are three online video channels in the U.S. that are watched by billions of millennials. In fact, these are backed by the Russian government. More appropriate to this conver

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Sure. My point of view would be that the purpose of your being here, Minister, is to provide the committee with a fulsome update, and when you tell us that you do not have the information.... I'm not sure if your colleagues who are here with you today can provide further informat

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Yes.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Okay. My colleague also made reference to some of the costs. When the debates commission was announced, it was also publicized that it would be given a budget of $5.5 million for the two debates. Again, since it is the government that is responsible for dispensing these funds,

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Thank you very much.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Thank you very much, Mr. Nater. Thank you very much, Minister, for being here today. I know that something that has been of great importance to you has been to have participation in this process from all the other political parties. Could you please expand on what consultation

Procedure and House Affairs committee  That's correct.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Okay. I have to say that this is the second time you have mentioned this.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Thank you, Mr. Perrault.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  You mentioned that you feel you were excluded because you are an independent non-partisan agency. Don't you think for that specific reason you should be a part of it? The other five individuals are making the critical decisions, first of all, that the other parties should be in

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Further to that, another concern beyond influence of course is interference. We on this side of the table put forward 200 amendments regarding Bill C-76.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  I look forward to that. In a nutshell, what are your biggest hurdles to implementing the changes to Bill C-76 in time for the 2019 election? Where do you need support? What should we as the opposition be looking for to assist you in your most challenging procedures to properly im

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Perrault, Mr. Roussel and Mr. St-Pierre, thank you for being with us today. You talked a lot about security. Last week, there was a press conference on cybersecurity. In my opinion, one organization wasn't included in the process, and my first question

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Merry Christmas. Happy new year. Happy Hanukkah. Happy Kwanza. See you next year. Thank you.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Beaulieu, I would like to thank you for being here today. We have no further questions.
