That's fair enough. You have the right to that opinion.
I have Mr. Shipley, Mr. Storseth, Mr. Lemieux, and Mr. Eyking.

I support the motion, obviously, because what Mr. Easter had read earlier basically was talking about funding available for SRMs. Within the call of the SRMs, this motion talks about solutions. And the solutions may or may not, Mr. Chair, involve dollars. They may involve programs that are already funded.
So with that, just as a comment, I support the motion, because it's actually open enough for us to look at solutions. That's what the intent is, to look for solutions and not have a predetermined amount. I believe what you have done, Mr. Chair, is correct. The amount directed in terms of the one proposal that has come forward is substantively different and it talks only about the dollar figure as the solution.
So I would support this motion, and quite honestly, why don't we just call the question on it?

Mr. Chair, to be up front, I want to make sure Mr. Dhaliwal gets signed in, and then I'm fine with....

I believe the three that I had on the list have all agreed to....

I would like to bring a point of order.
I had an agreement with Mr. Easter that we'd pair off, and if I hadn't run into Mr. Dhaliwal in the elevator, it would have created an unfair balance on the committee. I think that's unethical.
Conservative
The Chair Conservative Larry Miller
Well, that's an issue you'll have to take up with Mr. Easter
I'm going to call the question.
(Motion agreed to)
As the next order of business, we have our report.
Just before we get into this, I have seen reports done in different ways. My intention would be to start and go through this clause by clause and deal with recommendations as we get to them. I have also seen it done where recommendations have been dealt with and then the final text is dealt with. How do you wish to proceed?
We'll just start on page 1 and go. Is everybody okay with that?
Oh, sorry. We have to shut down and go in camera, so right now we don't have translation. My apologies.

We have five minutes. Is it worth shutting down and going in camera for five minutes?
Conservative
The Chair Conservative Larry Miller
There is a suggestion that we see the clock as 5:15 and that the meeting adjourn. We'll be ready to go at the report first thing on Tuesday.
The meeting is adjourned.
