I call this meeting back to order.
I want to apologize to what I think is the natural resources committee that's coming in after us. Due to the fire alarm, we do have some business we have to finish off.
We are discussing Mr. Atamanenko's motion. I would just like to suggest that we defer the motions until Thursday morning, and that we do them at the beginning of the meeting so they get dealt with in a prompt manner. We need a motion to do that, if it's agreed.
Mr. Storseth moves?

That was not your suggestion, Mr. Chair. I move that we deal on Thursday--

The Chair Conservative James Bezan
No, we have a motion on the floor that we have to deal with first.

The Chair Conservative James Bezan
We have to vote on your motion, yes.
Is it dilatory?
Okay, it's a motion. We can have discussion on the motion that the debate is suspended on Mr. Atamanenko's motion.
Mr. St. Amand.

I'll make a friendly amendment that debate be suspended on Mr. Atamanenko's motion, that all other motions be dealt with as a priority at our next meeting on Thursday, and that we deal with them at the very start of the meeting.
11:05 a.m.
Conservative
The Chair Conservative James Bezan
I have an amendment by Mr. St. Amand that we suspend this debate, along with the other motions from both Mr. Easter and Mr. St. Amand, until Thursday morning and deal with them on a priority basis then.
Are there comments on the amendment?

So it's my understanding that all of these motions, starting with mine, will be dealt with first thing at the next meeting. Is that correct?
11:05 a.m.
Conservative
The Chair Conservative James Bezan
That's the intent of the amended motion.
Are there any comments on the amendment? Okay, we're good. There's no debate.
(Amendment agreed to)

The Chair Conservative James Bezan
Okay. We do have some business about the liaison committee that we have to deal with quickly. We need to go in camera, so I'm going to suspend.
