Motions to adjourn the debate, as well as motions to adjourn the meeting, are in order if a member has the floor. Members may not move such motions on a point of order, but if they have the floor for debate, then a motion to adjourn the meeting or a motion to adjourn the debate is in order and must be moved without debate or amendment.

On a point of order, Madam Chair, the Liberals are looking to adjourn debate on their own amendment to this motion. I just want to reiterate that if we don't pass this motion today, we will be further delayed in our ability to study the important issues in immigration that include all of the topics the Liberals as well as opposition parties put forward.
