All right. We have an amendment, and we will deal with the amendment before we deal with the vote on the motion. The amendment is for the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage, for a one-hour meeting—that was made by the mover, so we don't have to vote on it—to update members of the committee on the plans and strategies of, etc., and that this meeting be held after October 4.

For television, fall is like harvest, if you don't mind me saying so, because that's when they lay out their programming, but we also have the Olympic Games, for which CBC is the supplier, and he's going to be there. We also have our two-week tour. I would not say the beginning of October. I would say later in October, if you don't mind

The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry

I would like to urge the committee on this issue.... We have now gone five minutes over time. We have another committee coming in. Whether or not they're coming in because we have a vote at 11:15 is another matter, but may I suggest that we bring this back to the next meeting?

Yes.
