Apologies to our guests. Hopefully it will only take a moment.
We all received notification from the clerk that reads as follows: “Please find enclosed an order in council appointment, which was referred to the committee on Friday, May 29, 2015, pursuant to standing order 110(2). Under standing orders 110 and 111 the committee may call a nominee to appear before it during a period not to exceed 30 sitting days from the tabling date in order to examine the qualifications and the competence of the appointee to perform the duties of the post to which he or she has been appointed.”
Given that when there was a new law clerk we used that same clause to invite them in, I move that we invite the new Speaker of the Senate in, since that's the appointment that's referred to here.

I received it yesterday also, David, and I was checking into precedent. Has this committee ever vetted the Speaker of the Senate? If you give me a day or so to finish that work and then find a time, if indeed it has happened, I will bring it back to the committee.

May I ask a question? My understanding is that it's allowed under the rules. Whether we've done it or not is a point of debate but I'm not sure whether it's a point of order to determine whether or not the motion is in order and should be voted on or not, Chair.

Your chair is advising you that before I rule on that motion, I'd like to do a little research. If you don't mind, I can come back to you at Thursday's meeting and tell you what I found out.

Just to support what you were saying, I think we have to take a look at the constitutionality of this. I appreciate the fact that you are going to do some background research and come back to us.

Thank you very much. This discussion is now over.
Carry on, Ms. Ablonczy, please.

Ms. Ablonczy is running perilously close to violating privileges of other members by continuing to say things that have not been said in this room and, in particular, attributing them to the opposition. I remain very disappointed that she wishes to attribute views that have not been presented in this committee.

Ms. Ablonczy, the chair would simply just ask that you go back the issue of the passport revocation as soon as possible. That is the intention of our discussion.

I appreciate that, Mr. Chair.
You know, why should Canadians care about that? Why should a soccer mom, a farmer, a fisherman, or a worker in a factory care about what we're talking about today? Why should they support the government's trying to keep people from travelling abroad?
I'd like to hear from both of you.
Mr. Quiggin, you haven't had much air time.

Mr. Chair and honourable members, let me first clarify my own points. My comments on NCCM are not really my own views. It Is the view of the United States State Department that CAIR-CAN, otherwise known as NCCM, is the Canadian chapter of CAIR in the U.S. The founders of CAIR-CAN in court documents, in affidavits here in Canada—
