I'm just receiving instructions from the clerk as to the appropriate way to do it. That would be that this committee direct the chair to have a report filed in the House.

That's what the motion was supposed to do. Let's vote on it now. We'll direct you right now. Let's make manifest the intent of that motion by voting on it again right here and now.

Mr. Chairman, Mr. Martin is right. I moved the motion and Mr. Martin then added a moratorium period. We had the impression that you would be advising the House. We are asking that you do that now, please.

Okay.
There seems to be a touch of miscommunication between the chair and the committee.
Is it the will of the committee that I report Mr. Martin's motion to the House?

Some hon. members
Agreed.

Not hearing any negative, that's what we'll do. Thank you.
