More so out of respect for the two vice-chairs, I agree with my colleague Mr. Harris.

This may not be an appropriate discussion for today. Perhaps we can push it to Thursday, but if we can come to a friendly agreement, even better.

The Chair Conservative Joy Smith

I think we'll all agree, probably. Yes.

Massimo Pacetti Liberal Saint-Léonard—Saint-Michel, QC

Madam Chair, I'm not a member of the committee, but normally committees have a 48-hour rule. I'm just wondering if that motion—

11:05 a.m.

11:05 a.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Joy Smith

I think we've agreed to discuss it on Thursday, right? We'll discuss it on Thursday. We don't want to make a big deal.

We will do committee business in camera on Thursday.

The meeting is adjourned.
