I just want to make sure I'm correctly understanding the process.

At the next committee meeting, are we going to vote again on whether to debate the amendment or will we automatically start debating it?

7:50 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative John Williamson

We will continue discussing it.

7:50 p.m.

We will be taking up the debate, then.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative John Williamson

Yes, we will be debating the amendment to your motion.

Conservative

Kelly McCauley Conservative Edmonton West, AB

Chair, I have a question.

It's at the chair's discretion to resume—

7:50 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative John Williamson

Yes, but because it's a motion it can interject other business. If we voted to end the meeting, we could pick it up at the first available opportunity.

I'm going to continue the roll call to adjourn the meeting.

(Motion agreed to: yeas 6; nays 4)

We are adjourned.
