Madam Chair, there isn't any more interpretation, and the discussion is becoming two‑sided.

Can you assign turns to speak? I would like to speak too, but I'll wait until Ms. Fortier has finished.

Conservative

Kyle Seeback Conservative Dufferin—Caledon, ON

[Inaudible—Editor] want to get the report done, but they want to debate some other motion.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Judy Sgro

The reality is that when the committee passed the motion to have all of those documents done, we all would have known that there was no way it was all going to get done, prepared and translated and then that the committee would have time to read it and be expected to do this work today. I mean, it was impractical to begin with.

Regardless, the motion passed, so that's where we are right now. Now, where do we go from here?

Go ahead, Mr. Sidhu.

Maninder Sidhu Liberal Brampton East, ON

Are we going to go back to the interim report?

What we're trying to do here is figure out what's best for the industry. We've got through this motion, but what's next? Are we going to go back to the interim report so that the analysts can speak to it and hear what the recommendations are and move forward, because....

Unless we have something else to discuss, other motions on the table....

All right.

We have to go back in camera.

Most of the hour has been running around talking to people, but okay.

4:25 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Judy Sgro

Well, when you present motions, everybody has to have a chance to absorb them and consider them and the implications of them.

We're going to suspend until we get back in camera.
