Okay. Merci, Mr. Vincent, you've made the position very clear. Ms. Nash suggested to me that if the motion does pass, we clarify the exact timing at the subcommittee on Tuesday.

We're going to try to read this motion that's procedurally been amended by two friendly amendments, two friendly people.

12:55 p.m.

The Clerk of the Committee Ms. Michelle Tittley

I'll do my best. I've incorporated what members have indicated:

That the Standing Committee on Industry, Science and Technology strike a subcommittee to hold approximately three meetings in the late summer or early fall to invite representatives of the oil and gas industry, pension fund managers, institutional investors involved with global electronic exchanges and relevant witnesses to come before the subcommittee to explain the reason for the increase in the price of oil and food on the commodities market.

I'll call the question then. All those in favour?

Members, we'll have to do the service sector report on Tuesday then. As a reminder, we do have a subcommittee meeting at 10 a.m. on Tuesday morning.

Thank you. The meeting is adjourned.
