Motion

Joël Godin moved, — That, considering that the committee has accumulated lost working hours due to the obstruction by Liberal MPs who are trying to protect MP Francis Drouin and prevent his removal from the committee, it is resolved that the committee requests the Chair to hold at least five meetings between July 8, 2024, and September 13, 2024, to address the study on federal funding for minority-language post-secondary institutions as well as to finalize the report on economic development of official language minority communities and the report on language obligations related to the process of staffing or making appointments to key positions.

After debate, the question was put on the motion and it was negatived on the following recorded division:

YEAS: Marc Dalton, Bernard Généreux, Joël Godin, Stephanie Kusie — 4;

NAYS: Niki Ashton, Mario Beaulieu, Sophie Chatel, Francis Drouin, Angelo Iacono, Darrell Samson, Marc G. Serré — 7.
