The chair's ruling is overturned. Mr. Easter's motion stands; it is on the floor.
Is there any further discussion on Mr. Easter's motion?
There could be amendments or something, Wayne. I have to open it.

The motion is on the floor. It is debatable, it's amendable, and then it's votable, because we've had our 48 hours' notice and so on.
Is there any debate?
Conservative
The Chair Conservative Gerry Ritz
All right. The question is called.

The motion carries, so the clerk will draft it up in both official languages in a report to the House.

Now we have the advantage, Mr. Chair, of having learned some parliamentary procedure too.
I have a question. James, you had a motion. Was 48 hours' notice given?
Conservative
The Chair Conservative Gerry Ritz
Yes, that was all we needed. We didn't have 48 hours. We have a bit of time here, guys. If we have unanimous consent, we can move Mr. Bezan's motion today as well.

I ask that we proceed with regular times on these motions and that we don't start skipping procedure.
Conservative
The Chair Conservative Gerry Ritz
Okay. It will come up at the next meeting.
Is there anything else, gentlemen? Good.
This meeting stands adjourned.
