Procedure and House Affairs committee It's difficult to comment on this because there are too many unknowns. It depends on how many recommendations there are and how lengthy they are. If there are a lot and they are very lengthy, it will take a while for translation to be able to turn that around. The more recommenda

Procedure and House Affairs committee Unfortunately, I won't be able to give a very helpful answer. I'm at the committee's disposal. I'm not entirely sure when members are going to feel comfortable about making recommendations. I'll do whatever I can, once the recommendations come in, to add them to the report.

Procedure and House Affairs committee If Mr. Richards is wondering about the volume, it might be about an extra page that would be added from today's meeting.
July 6th, 2020Committee meeting
Andre Barnes
Procedure and House Affairs committee At first glance, my approach, as of right now, would be to add as opposed to alter what's currently there. That would be done by end of day tomorrow, at the latest, and ready for translation.

Andre Barnes
Procedure and House Affairs committee Thank you, Madam Chair. To use a phrase that's been used maybe too much today, it is really the will of the committee as to how long the extension would be and how many more meetings you'd like to have.

Procedure and House Affairs committee Madam Chair, I don't mean to pass the buck, but I think the clerk had a good title. It was the title of the study, “Parliamentary Duties and the COVID-19 Pandemic”.

Andre Barnes
Procedure and House Affairs committee Thank you, Madam Chair. Just for clarity, LIB 11 was only the first line. Where the parentheses begin, I added, after the words “for the Committee's consideration”, some information because the committee received a letter from the Speaker asking for guidelines that would be incl

Procedure and House Affairs committee I'll be very brief. Thank you, Madam Chair. Yesterday the committee asked me to fill in the hole I had left by moving the part about the living tree. Essentially, the quote is already there. I summarized Mr. Dufresne's testimony. It also includes Mr. Richards' quote that he gave

Andre Barnes
Procedure and House Affairs committee Thank you, Madam Chair. For the committee's information, I've been going through all the recommendations, as we go, to phrase them as recommendations, because sometimes they aren't. All recommendations have to say “that”, because they're motions. In this particular case, this on
