Natural Resources committee  Yes. The motion is simply....

Natural Resources committee  Thank you, Mr. Ouellet. I can confirm that the Pembina Institute, among others, will appear again next week to discuss the issue of water. As well, after the break week, we will discuss local impacts in greater details. Witnesses will include Melissa Blake, Mike Allen, from the

Natural Resources committee  Regarding the documents, I am in touch with the department and the office of the commissioner. They are conducting the necessary research and compiling information for the committee. I will forward the documents to the committee as soon as I receive them.

Natural Resources committee  Allow me to check again tomorrow, especially with the commissioner, because department representatives are in attendance. They have heard your question and are aware of the matter. I will do a follow-up.

Natural Resources committee  Essentially we need a motion to adopt the budget, and this is the way it's worded: That the proposed budget in the amount of $24,412, for the Committee’s travel to Calgary and Fort McMurray on November 19 and 20, 2006, be adopted and that the Chair present the said budget to t

Natural Resources committee  (Motion agreed to)

Natural Resources committee  Mr. Chair, I've been given the breakdown per seat per helicopter. I've been doing math while you've been discussing. It would be $7,000 per chopper per hour, plus fuel for the first company, and we would need.... No, sorry. It would be $7,000 per hour, plus fuel. Okay, for the fi

Natural Resources committee  No, but that's adding all four helicopters together. For the first company, it's four four-seat helicopters at $1,750 each. I've added up the price and that---

Natural Resources committee  These are the companies that are there. From the second company we can get two five-seat helicopters at $1,575, but then you've got to pay oil, fuel, and GST per chopper per hour. Then we would need one other three-seater at $995 plus oil and fuel. From the third company we'd get

Natural Resources committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. My logistics person quoted three different companies, the most expensive of which would charge about $2,000 per flight hour per helicopter. I can give you the--

Natural Resources committee  Absolutely, Mr. Chairman. The problem is that Mr. Cullen had submitted his notice at a meeting and the motion was distributed to committee members. Since the motion had already been submitted to the committee, there was nothing to be done until it was dealt with by the committee

Natural Resources committee  As the Chairman mentioned, we would need unanimous consent in order to change the motion today. Otherwise, it would be a new motion, and it would be necessary to comply with the requirement for 24 hours notice. I must say that by separating the motion in the committee's minutes

Natural Resources committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. Through you, Mr. Chair, you're exactly right, Mr. St. Amand. The last sentence is the motion. The problem with the motion is that it's in the same paragraph as the preamble. That's what makes it out of order. By having it in one body, it makes it as if it's

Natural Resources committee  Mr. Chair, it's not out of order by much. Members know that when giving a notice to the Journals Branch, for instance, preambles aren't generally accepted. I examined the motion as written and determined that the debatable part would be the final sentence of each substantive moti

Natural Resources committee  Mr. Reveret is a colleague of Ms. Gendron. She is the one who recommended him. There is no final confirmation but I did contact him.
