Again, I can't order them in such a way to direct that. But we will certainly do it in the most expeditious route.
I'm giving a friendly amendment. I don't know if I can even do that as chair...I can't do that as chair.
Would you restructure your motion, Mr. Easter?

We'll meet the deadline, or we'll try to. I don't know if Mr. Easter understands how poorly written the motion actually is and the implications that come out of it. So we'll certainly have to take a look at that, but we'll meet the deadline.
There are substantial problems for western Canadian farmers involved in this motion. I don't think Mr. Easter understands that.

Leave a copy with the clerk. We'll have it translated, and then if we want to refer to it, we can. Is that okay with everyone?
Is there anything else, ladies and gentlemen? We'll keep you posted on Tuesday.

The Chair Conservative Gerry Ritz
We have a bit of a problem with our witnesses. They are in agreement to carry the meeting until Thursday, with the exception of CN, who say they're not available on Thursday.
So we will keep you posted as to whether or not the tour de Rothsay is going to happen.
This meeting stands adjourned.
