Well, I understand, but you understand that we are in the middle of voting on these. It's just about if there is any confusion about what we are voting on. I don't want members to be caught by surprise, which happened last night; what a surprise.
Okay. We will have a recorded vote.
Would the clerk please call the roll on the amendment as amended.
(Amendment agreed to: yeas 6; nays 5)
I feel like Peter Milliken now: the chair votes yes.
We now move to the Martin motion as amended.
Do I have to do this? Do you want me to read it out?

Yes.

It reads as follows:That the Committee report to the House its profound disappointment with the response of the Minister of Justice to its 11th report entitled “The Access to Information Act: First steps towards renewal”, that the Committee recommend to the government that it introduce in the House no later than March 30, 2010, a new Access to Information Act that would reflect the Committee's proceedings and recommendations, and that the Minister be invited to reappear before the Committee before November 30, 2009.
That is the full motion as amended that we are voting on now.
Are we all clear?
Shall we call the question now?
You're not clear?

I am just going to ask the chair if we are extending the committee beyond eleven o'clock, because it is now eleven o'clock; I'm just curious.
I'm in favour of extending this.

Thank you.
We are in the middle of a recorded vote, please.
(Motion as amended agreed to: yeas 6; nays 5)
I appreciate this enormous responsibility: the chair votes yes.
Colleagues, there is another standing committee that is scheduled to meet in this room right now. As Mr. Del Mastro said, we are over time.
The meeting is adjourned.
