Conservative

Myron Thompson Conservative Wild Rose, AB

The steering committee has to be prepared to deal with this and to remember that we need to get at the bills that are sent down here for us to deal with. Our priority should be based on that.

I'll withdraw the motion for the time being, but I hope the steering committee will do a better job of considering those things.

The Chair Conservative Art Hanger

I thank you for the advice, Mr. Thompson.

This matter will be dealt with in the steering committee, and it will be dealt with on Thursday. I'm trusting that we can get a steering committee put together as quickly as possible.

On a point of order, Mr. Chair, it's now one minute after eleven. We're infringing on the next set of meetings. That's contrary to the rules, and I call on you to adjourn this meeting at this time without any further discussion.
