[English]

The Chair (Mr. Joe Preston (Elgin—Middlesex—London, CPC)):
    Let's start. We're at meeting number 44, folks. We're in public today.
    Really, our orders today are to talk about different things under committee business. There are a few things the committee needs to clean up, or clear up, whichever way you want to look at it or play with it.
    First, Mr. Christopherson, you have a couple of motions that have been given notice.
Mr. David Christopherson (Hamilton Centre, NDP):
    No, I'm good for today, Chair. Thanks.
The Chair:
    We're not moving forward on either of those?
Mr. David Christopherson:
    Just not today I'm not.
The Chair:
    Okay.
    There are a couple of other things here. One has to do with where we are in our study on the use of House resources. Your chair would feel a lot more comfortable being in camera from a discussion point of view.
    I would ask the committee if we could move in camera to discuss that business.
    An hon. member: I'll move it.
Mr. David Christopherson:

    Talking about it in public has been....
    Mr. David Christopherson: Ah.
    The Chair: Mr. Reid.
Mr. Scott Reid (Lanark—Frontenac—Lennox and Addington, CPC):
    On a point of order, Mr. Chairman, Mr. Butt moved that we go in camera. That has to be voted on without—
The Chair:
    Yes. Your chair can't move it.
    An hon. member: He already moved it.
Mr. Brad Butt (Mississauga—Streetsville, CPC):
     I moved it, with respect, Chair.
The Chair:
    In that case, now that it's been moved from the table, it is non-debatable.
Mr. Peter Julian (Burnaby—New Westminster, NDP):
    I would like a recorded vote.
The Chair:
    Sure.
    (Motion agreed to: yeas 5; nays 3)
