EVIDENCE

[Recorded by Electronic Apparatus]

[English]

The Chair (Mr. Dave MacKenzie (Oxford, CPC)):

I call the meeting to order. This is meeting number five of the Subcommittee on Private Members' Business of the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs. For our orders of the day we have the determination of non-votable items pursuant to Standing Order 91.1(1).

I believe we have two Senate bills. As always, we'll operate on consensus.

Let's deal with Bill S-211, a national day to promote health and fitness for all Canadians.

Mr. Alexandre Lavoie (Committee Researcher):

I wish first to remind the committee that only one provision applies to a Senate bill, and that is whether a similar matter has been voted on during the current session.

Bill S-211 seeks to designate the first Saturday in June of each year as National Health and Fitness Day. Another bill, Bill C-443, deals with the same matter; however, it is currently at first reading, has not been voted on yet, and has not even been put on the order of precedence.

The Chair:

Thank you.

Is that okay?

Some hon. members: Yes.

The Chair: The consensus is that it goes forward.

Next is Bill S-218, an act respecting National Fiddling Day.

Mr. Alexandre Lavoie:

I've looked, and there are no other bills that deal with the same matter.

The Chair:

So the consensus is that it goes forward?

An hon. member: Sure.

The Chair: Does everybody agree that the subcommittee present a report listing those items which it has determined should not be designated non-votable and recommend that they be considered by the House?

Some hon. members: Yes.

The Chair: We're scheduling the next meeting of this subcommittee for Tuesday, October 7, at 1:15 p.m. Of note, the replenishment of private members' items occurs today at the end of the day.

The meeting is adjourned.
