It was on the same one.

I understand that, when you gave the floor back to Mr. Barrett, you said the speaking order wouldn't be impacted, so that's why we went a little crazy. I just wanted to mention that, but I'll just leave it there. You have ruled, Mr. Chair.

Thank you.

Okay. Mr. Kurek, I have you. I have Ms. Fortier and Mr. Villemure, and then it's back to you, sir.

Ms. Fortier, go ahead.

This is on the motion. Is that correct?

I am speaking also because we've been flip-flopping committee business for the last weeks that I've been here—committee business and work plan this, work plan that, always rework the work plan—and we were supposed to be discussing, today, social media. I can understand that it might be really hard to find witnesses, but if we have a long list, we should be able to have witnesses.

I'm really exasperated to see that we are still, at this time, at a committee business meeting when we had a plan. We had a very good work plan. We did have a meeting in camera, and I can't speak to it, so I won't. This is not even addressing what was shared by Mr. Barrett today. I cannot even express how I would have preferred that we were talking about social media. This is really becoming a pattern of disrespect for this committee, as we had a work plan and this work plan is not the one we are following.

Therefore, I move that the committee do now adjourn.

6:25 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative John Brassard

Thank you, Ms. Fortier.

We have a motion to adjourn the committee. It's non-debatable, so I'm going to call on the clerk to take the vote.

(Motion agreed to: yeas 7; nays 3)

The meeting is adjourned.
