Minutes of Proceedings
The witnesses made statements and answered questions.
Laurel Collins moved, — That the committee, in light of the fact that the second committee meeting of the CEPA study was cancelled and one of the key witnesses is unavailable for any alternative dates in January and February, reduce the number of meetings for the CEPA study from four to three, and that in place of a fourth meeting, the committee hold a one-meeting hearing to hear from witnesses on the possibility of the Commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable Development becoming an independent officer of parliament.
Debate arose thereon.
The question was put on the motion and it was agreed to on the following recorded division:
YEAS: Dan Albas, Laurel Collins, Joël Godin, Matt Jeneroux, Monique Pauzé, Brad Redekopp — 6;
NAYS: Yvan Baker, Lloyd Longfield, Raj Saini, Ya’ara Saks, Peter Schiefke — 5.
At 5:41 p.m., the committee adjourned to the call of the Chair.
