If someone has not received it, please speak now.

It would seem that everyone has received it. In both official languages, it has been received.

Perhaps, just for clarification, the clerk can read it once more before we rule on it.

Legislative Clerk

Alexie Labelle

The full motion, including the subamendment, reads, “That the deadline for amendments be three days prior to clause-by-clause and after the committee has the opportunity to hear from the Minister of Canadian Heritage and department officials.”

The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry

That seems to me....

Somebody is raising a point of order before I even speak.

Go ahead.

Rick Perkins Conservative South Shore—St. Margarets, NS

Yes. It's Rick Perkins, on a point of order, Madam Chair.

The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry

Is that not your subamendment?

6:50 p.m.

Conservative

Rick Perkins Conservative South Shore—St. Margarets, NS

Yes, it is, but I believe we're beyond the allotted time, so I'm not sure if we can continue to deal with your ruling on the amendment.

6:50 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry

Well, I will make that decision. Mr. Perkins. Go ahead.

6:50 p.m.

Conservative

Rick Perkins Conservative South Shore—St. Margarets, NS

You need unanimous consent, I believe, to go beyond the two hours.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry

You know, Mr. Perkins, I am speaking at the moment. Thank you.

Did everybody get the subamendment that Mr. Perkins sent, in both official languages? Yes.

Would you like me to rule on it now, or will I entertain a motion to adjourn? We have to leave this room.

6:50 p.m.

A voice

Make the motion to adjourn. Just adjourn.

6:50 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry

Then I will move that the meeting be adjourned. Thank you.
