On a point of clarification, because we're in committee business, we don't need to officially have a translation. What I've read out is what I'd like the vote to be on. It's not a procedural requirement that we need to have a translation.

No, but if a member wants it in writing in front of him—it's a longer motion and we haven't seen it yet—I think it's a fair request for a member to look at it.

—but by the book, we're in committee business, and we need to vote on this today.

We don't need to vote today. It's up to the committee when that vote happens.

This is an attempt to, once again, stall. We've asked why Huawei has not been on this list, and there's been no explanation.
We are the science committee. We should be tasked with looking at why our post-secondary institutions are still partnering with Huawei. It's been years now that we've known the problems with that company and the ties to the Beijing government. We know the questions that have been raised about some of the research that has been done as early as late last year with that entity.
We are asking for just a two-hour study. I do not understand what the government is trying to hide. These answers are going to come out. It would be best to come out in a proper committee such as this one, a committee that is looking at our post-secondary institutions and the corruption that's been promulgated by actors from Beijing.

Is there more discussion on this, or do you want to go to a vote?

Yes, you can adjourn.
There's a non-debatable motion to adjourn debate. Let's test the committee on that.

Just for clarification, Lloyd, we are not voting on this. We are hiding again. The cover-up continues.

No, no, we're voting on adjourning debate. It's a non-debatable motion.

No, this is a cover-up. We have 20 more minutes of committee time. Why you guys are hiding from Huawei is beyond me.
