The clerk advises me that it is on the agenda and it is in order. Therefore we have to hold a vote.

Mr. Chairman, I move that the Standing Committee on the Environment begin consideration of Bill C-288 on Thursday of next week.

The Chair Conservative Bob Mills

We have witnesses for next Thursday, so we'll have to look at that and see how we can rejuggle them. They're international witnesses and obviously they've made arrangements--air tickets have been issued, and so on. It does pose some problems. We'll look at it and report back on Thursday.
