Okay. Thank you so much, Mr. Uppal.
I want to thank the minister so much for coming and spending all the time here at the committee today to answer the committee's concerns and questions.
I'm hoping we can continue our work in Parliament, and I'm hoping we can continue because we have some very important business to do right now.
I will suspend for two minutes so we can start right on time at 5:15.
Thank you so much. I want to thank the rest of the guests for joining us.
Ms. Wilson, it's a pleasure to hear your voice. Thank you.

I would ask that the committee resume, and I would ask that anyone who needs to have little meetings, just please do them outside the room.
We're going to be in public; we just won't be televised. I would like to get started, if that's possible. Thank you for your consideration.
Having said that, we will go through the votes, first of all.

I'll be happy to Madam Chair. It reads:
That pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), the Committee undertake the study to review the progress in implementing the health accord; and
That these meetings follow the guidelines and timelines similar to the statutory review conducted by this Committee in 2008.

Thank you.
If we go past tomorrow, we may be able to consider it. So in my view, rather than wasting time talking to each other about why this, why not the other one, and why not before, I would suggest that we postpone it to the next meeting of this committee.
And I would just simply ask that my motion be also moved to the next committee, whenever it meets. Then I won't have to say anything negative about the motion or the way it was brought forward. I don't want to do that.

As long as it's on the record, I think we'll be okay doing that.

The Chair Conservative Joy Smith
Okay. All in favour of just leaving the motion until we get back? Of course, if we don't continue next week.... And all in favour of...Mr. Dosanjh's as well? Both motions?
5:15 p.m.
Some hon. members
Agreed.
