The Chair Conservative Gerry Ritz

The chair's ruling is overturned. Mr. Easter's motion stands; it is on the floor.

Is there any further discussion on Mr. Easter's motion?

There could be amendments or something, Wayne. I have to open it.

1:45 p.m.

Conservative

David Anderson Conservative Cypress Hills—Grasslands, SK

Is it votable today?

1:45 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Gerry Ritz

The motion is on the floor. It is debatable, it's amendable, and then it's votable, because we've had our 48 hours' notice and so on.

Is there any debate?

1:45 p.m.

Liberal

Wayne Easter Liberal Malpeque, PE

Call the question, Mr. Chair.

1:45 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Gerry Ritz

All right. The question is called.

(Motion agreed to [See Minutes of Proceedings])

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Gerry Ritz

The motion carries, so the clerk will draft it up in both official languages in a report to the House.

1:45 p.m.

Liberal

Wayne Easter Liberal Malpeque, PE

Now we have the advantage, Mr. Chair, of having learned some parliamentary procedure too.

I have a question. James, you had a motion. Was 48 hours' notice given?

1:45 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Gerry Ritz

Yes, that was all we needed. We didn't have 48 hours. We have a bit of time here, guys. If we have unanimous consent, we can move Mr. Bezan's motion today as well.

1:45 p.m.

Conservative

David Anderson Conservative Cypress Hills—Grasslands, SK

I ask that we proceed with regular times on these motions and that we don't start skipping procedure.

1:45 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Gerry Ritz

Okay. It will come up at the next meeting.

Is there anything else, gentlemen? Good.

This meeting stands adjourned.
