If it's the will of the committee, we can proceed with the routine motions.

Okay.
As you are all aware, the webcast will always show the person speaking rather than the entirety of the committee. To ensure an orderly meeting, I have to outline a few rules to follow.
Interpretation in this video conference will work very much as in a regular committee meeting. You have the choice at the bottom of your screen of either “floor”, “English” or “French”. As you are speaking, if you plan to alternate from one language to the other, you will need to also switch the interpretation channel so that it aligns with the language you are speaking. You may also want to allow for a short pause when switching languages.
Before speaking, please wait until I recognize you by name. When you are ready to speak, you can click on your microphone icon to activate your mike. I remind you that all comments by members should be addressed through the chair.
Should members need to request the floor, they should activate their mike and state that they have a point of order. If a member wishes to intervene on a point of order that has been raised by another member, they should use the “raise hand” function. This will signal to the chair your interest in speaking.
In order to do so, you should click on “Participants” at the bottom of the screen. When the list pops up, you will see next to your name that you can click on “raise hand”.
When speaking, please speak slowly and clearly. When you are not speaking, your mike should be on mute, and the use of a headset is strongly encouraged.
Should any technical challenges arise—and I'm sure they will, in relation to, for example, interpretation—or if a problem with your audio arises, please advise the chair immediately, and the technical team will work to resolve the issue. Please note that we may need to suspend during these times, as we need to ensure that all members are able to participate fully.
Before we start, can everyone click on their screen in the top right-hand corner and ensure that you are all on gallery view?
Is everyone on gallery view? With this view, we can all see all of the participants in a grid view. It will ensure that all video participants can see each other.
If the committee wishes, we can now proceed to the consideration of routine motions.

Madam Chair, may I present routine motions at this time?

I will begin in English, and for the benefit of our translators, I will switch to French about midway through routine motions.
Beginning with “Analyst Services”, the motion reads:
That the committee retain, as needed and at the discretion of the chair, the services of one of more analysts from the Library of Parliament to assist it in its work.
With respect to “Subcommittee on Agenda and Procedure”, we have:
That the Subcommittee on Agenda and Procedure be established and composed of five (5) members; the Chair, one member from each Party; and that the Subcommittee work in the spirit of collaboration.
With respect to “Meeting Without a Quorum”—

I have a quick question, Madam Chair. Are we going to be dealing with these one at a time or are we going to be dealing with them all together? How is it your intention to proceed?

Lib. (ON)
If we have unanimous consent, we can deal with them all on the completion of the presentation of the motions.

Well, I do have suggestions for some slight alterations, so I'll ask how you want me to deal with those. Do you want me to raise them as the motion is read, or do you want me to wait until the end and then go back?
View Judy A. Sgro Profile
Lib. (ON)
My suggestion is that we wait until Ms. Bendayan finishes and then we will go to you, Mr. Blaikie, for any suggestions you may have.
Is that acceptable to the committee?

On a point of order, Madam Chair, this morning at the immigration and citizenship committee, we read one motion at a time. I think it was as fast as this, and it's not going to be as confusing as going back and forth. I think we should do one topic at a time.

Okay, let's try it, then.
Mr. Blaikie, Ms. Bendayan will start again with the routine motions, and you'll have to indicate where you want to make an amendment or a change.
Will that work for everybody?

There is no need to repeat the first motion on my account, but I do have a suggestion for the second motion.
View Rachel Bendayan Profile
Lib. (QC)
Is that on the subcommittee on agenda and procedure?
View Daniel Blaikie Profile
NDP (MB)
Yes. We would add “recognized” in front of “Party” so that it would read partway through, “the Chair, one member from each recognized Party; and that the subcommittee work in the spirit of collaboration.”

Lib. (ON)
Does anyone have any objection to that?
No. Everyone is in favour of adding that one word.
(Amendment agreed to [See Minutes of Proceedings])
Do you want to continue, Ms. Bendayan?
