It seems I'm the only one—and Mr. Champoux—to have it. I don't think anybody else has it.
Shall I call the question to vote on this? Are you happy with what was read, or do you want to see it for yourselves?

That's good.
Can somebody let me know when you get them so that we can go to the question or to comments?

Madam Chair, was this just sent at four o'clock, or was it sent earlier today or yesterday?

Given that I have it in my routine motions, and given that the clerk explained that this had been done as a specific one and not as the normal routine motions last time, I think it was put on here as an optional motion. Obviously, we want to consider it, but that's why you don't have it, I think.

Okay. Considering that we don't have it, could we maybe recess for a few minutes so that we can actually read it and go through it?
It just came into the inbox now, a few minutes ago. Can we recess for about three minutes to go through it?

For some unknown reason, I'm not hearing people on this.
I'm sorry, Peter. What are you saying?

I have a point of order because I have two routine motions to propose.
I would like to start with the first one.

The first one is this. I move:
That each party represented on the committee be entitled to select one witness per two-hour witness panel.
I propose this routine motion, which comes out of the health committee. Michelle Rempel Garner proposed it there and the health committee adopted that structure. It has been very effective in terms of having the diversity of witnesses that are so important to the consideration by the committee for the reports that they're producing.
In this case, it would be a similar advantage for Canadian heritage, so I would like to propose this as part of our routine motions.
