All right, then I'm going to suspend again for a few minutes.

I call the meeting back to order.
If members could listen attentively, I'm going to have the clerk read the new motion that I'm looking to get UC on. If there's no UC, we'll deal with it step by step.
Mr. Clerk, you have the floor.

The motion would read:
That, given recent reports that the National Capital Commission (NCC) paid over $8 million to replace a barn at Rideau Hall, the committee:
(a) undertake a study of one meeting on this seemingly imprudent spending and especially considering the cost of living crisis Canadians are facing and invite the NCC, including CEO Tobi Nussbaum and Treasury Board and Public Services and Procurement Canada officials to testify on the matter; and
(b) report to the House and that pursuant to Standing Order 109, the government table a comprehensive response.

I am going to ask for a roll call on that motion now.

I'm looking now for your agreement to adjourn this meeting.
