EVIDENCE

[Recorded by Electronic Apparatus]

[English]

    I'm sorry, colleagues. My apologies for being a few minutes late. Please bear with me for a moment.
    I'm not sure where everyone has been. I do know that Monsieur Dubé had a death in the family. It was not in his immediate family, but he's had to deal with a few things. He's on his way.
    Do you mind just giving me a couple more minutes to get up to speed with the clerk, and hopefully our other colleagues will arrive? In any event, in a couple of minutes we'll get going. Is that okay?
    An hon. member: Yes.
    The Chair: Thanks.

The Chair:
    We can now continue with this 24th meeting of the Standing Committee on Public Accounts.
    Go ahead, Mr. Saxton.
Mr. Andrew Saxton (North Vancouver, CPC):
    Thank you, Mr. Chair.
    Since we are continuing to deal with committee business, and as has been the practice in the past, I move a motion that we go in camera, as is normally what we do.
    A voice: It's normally what you do.
    Mr. Andrew Saxton: No, the tradition has been that we always discuss committee business in camera, and this is committee business.
The Chair:
    You're correct, Mr. Saxton.
Mr. Andrew Saxton:
    Thank you, Mr. Chair.
The Chair:
    There's no debate on the motion. Is there anything out of order?
    Mr. Byrne, are you rising on a point of order?
Hon. Gerry Byrne (Humber—St. Barbe—Baie Verte, Lib.):
    No, I would like to call for a recorded vote.
The Chair:
    Oh, of course. You have that right.
    All right, there will be a roll call.
    We have the motion. It's in order. I'll ask the clerk to conduct that roll call.
    (Motion agreed to: yeas 7; nays 4)
    The Chair: Thank you.
    The motion carries seven to four. Therefore, I'll suspend for a moment while we do an adjustment, and then we'll be right at it.
