Mr. Speaker, I rise to seek unanimous consent for the following motion:
That the chair of the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs be instructed to convene a meeting of the committee at 11 a.m. on Thursday, October 1, 2020.

Mr. Speaker, Canadians are still looking for the truth when it comes to the WE scandal. Just last night the Liberal committee chair of the procedure and House affairs committee violated the rules by adjourning the debate. The chair then cancelled the morning meeting as well.
This has the PMO written all over it. We looked at this during the prorogation of Parliament, but this time it is happening at the PROC.
My question is for the chair of the procedure and House affairs committee. When will the committee get back to work to study the WE scandal?

Mr. Speaker, the motion that was brought to committee is quite complex. I am looking into this motion to see if it is in order. I am conferring with the procedural clerks and the table officers in order to do so.
I will be getting back to the members of the committee about when the next meeting is as soon as I have completed this task.

Mr. Speaker, I am just very concerned because last night as we were sitting at the procedures and House affairs committee, the meeting was adjourned.
There was supposed to be a meeting at 11 a.m. today. Why was it cancelled? Once again, it should not have been cancelled. The meeting should have been suspended. It is part of our procedural rules, and that was not done.
I am just wondering why the government is going outside of procedural rules to cover its butt when it comes to WE. When is it going to answer the question on the WE motion?

Mr. Speaker, once again, because this motion was fairly complicated, I still have not had enough time to complete the analysis of the motion. As soon as I have done so, after conferring with the procedural clerks, I will get back to the members.

Mr. Speaker, cover-ups have been the name of the game under the Prime Minister. Time and time again, he has broken ethics laws, been caught and then tried to cover it up. We saw it again last night at the procedure and House affairs committee, when Liberals scrambled to shut it down to prevent WE documents from coming to light. Canadians have had enough and they deserve answers.
What exactly are the Prime Minister and his Liberals trying so desperately to hide?

Mr. Speaker, we are here to work on behalf of Canadians. We are here to serve Canadians. That is why we are working so hard in the middle of a pandemic.
We are in the middle of this pandemic. This is an emergency, and the best thing the Conservatives found to do this morning was to bring a motion to lose two hours, debating on a former MP who has not been here for the last year. That is what they did.

Mr. Speaker, this is coming from the government that just shut down Parliament for six weeks and locked the doors on committee rooms. We will certainly take no lessons from the Liberals on how we will spend our time.
They say they are working in good faith with committees. They shut them down and they block investigations at every turn. They went so far as to shut down the entire House and all its business for six full weeks. Actions speak louder than words.
It is simple: Will they unlock the doors and answer questions at PROC as to why they really shut down Parliament?

Mr. Speaker, we have this bill in front of us. It is a very important, crucial bill. It is there to help Canadians, those who have lost their jobs and who have to stay home to take care of family members. It would also provide sick leave for people who need it. We are here to debate that.
What is the problem with the Conservatives? They prefer to debate a motion on an MP who left a year ago. We know our priority. They know theirs.

Normally when there are requests for unanimous consent, the Chair asks in the affirmative whether members agree.
This being a hybrid sitting of the House, were the Chair to proceed in this fashion, if there were any dissenting voices, particularly for members participating via video conference, they may not be audible.
Therefore, for the sake of clarity, I will only ask those who are opposed to the request to express their disagreement. In this way, the Chair will hear clearly if there are any dissenting voices and I will accordingly be able to declare whether or not there is unanimous consent to proceed.
All those opposed to the hon. member moving the motion will please say nay.
The House has heard the terms of the motion. There being no dissenting voice, I declare the motion carried.
