Industry committee  Yes, the committee is always free to ask for information from the departments if we have a letter from the chair or even an adopted motion here in committee. It wouldn't, obviously, be today, so there's that consideration.

Industry committee  I believe we are waiting for Mr. Duvall to join us.

Industry committee  If there's consent, we will not need a recorded vote.

Industry committee  Yes. Right now I've given the department a heads-up that they may be required for clause-by-clause, and I was waiting to see what the will of the committee was and if they wanted to invite them for that.

Industry committee  We just have two outstanding witnesses that have been invited for next Tuesday. We have the Association canadienne des retraités and we also have the Canadian Union of Public Employees.

Industry committee  In this case, with the way the motion is structured, it would just be a reversal of the intent of the motion. The proper form would just be to vote against the motion.

Industry committee  Yes, sorry. Give me one second here. We have the Canadian Bankers Association appearing this Thursday. Sorry; you'll have to bear with me one moment as I try to get the.... We have an attorney, Mark Zigler, of Koskie Minsky. He's a partner. We also have Cody Cooper, the preside

Industry committee  No. A request for unanimous consent is just a regular request. As long as there is no dissenting voice, then you have unanimous consent.

Industry committee  To recap, we had the original motion moved. There was debate. An amendment was moved to replace the wording “without hearing witnesses” with “after three full meetings of witness testimony”. The effect would be that there would be no other committee activities or business in betw

Industry committee  Yes, now would be the appropriate time. If Monsieur Lemire chooses, he can request the unanimous consent of the committee to withdraw his motion.

Industry committee  Based on my reading of the motion as submitted, it would be amended so that the committee proceed immediately to the clause-by-clause consideration of Bill C-253, as referred by the House on May 12, 2021, after three full meetings of witness testimony. If we look at our calendar

Industry committee  It's in the hands of the committee. If the member wishes to seek unanimous consent to withdraw the motion, that's all it would require.
