That's correct. We would do that.
It would seem reasonable, to a reasonable person, that in an agreement such as that, crafted among people who I assume are honourable, everyone would have their three minutes to do that work, given the time that has been given to us by these witnesses.
It seems as though, if that is the approach the committee would like to take going forward, then, certainly, we will guard ourselves accordingly, but as Mr. Coteau very rightly said—

We feel bamboozled.

—we sit here, with many on the other side whom we believe act in good faith, to be able to do that work.
This is now the second meeting in a row where this has happened, where, knowing that there is an agreement to finish our time and that we would be afforded that opportunity, both times a motion has been dropped at the very last second, knowingly ensuring that we won't get our time.
If that is the tone, the tenor and the approach you want to take to this committee, so be it. However, that is a decision being made by the Conservatives, certainly not by us, and I would argue not by members of other parties who are in this room.

Mr. Chair, you don't have the unanimous consent of this committee to keep sitting past 1:03. You do not. You don't have it from us. I don't believe you have it from Mr. Julian.

You can't force this. You have to respect the rules.

Thank you for coming and, for those of you online, thank you as well. Thank you very much.

I'm going to suspend, meaning that on Thursday, we'll pick this up.

No, you won't. There's a motion to adjourn. That takes precedence.

If you want to pick this up when the minister is here instead of talking to the minister, that's your prerogative.

We either vote to adjourn, or you just adjourn the meeting, because you don't have unanimous consent to continue. Those are the choices, and they both end up with adjournment unless you have unanimous consent to continue.
