No, it is adducing the evidence. The evidence was public, but now it's under proper consideration by the committee for Bill C-311. It's what committee hears. We're just accepting that testimony for this committee rather than the evidence for the past committee, and we do have new members here.

Are there any other comments?

Mr. Woodworth.

We are running out of time.

I want to put on the record once again that we have had this discussion time and again, and by continually raising these procedural points, which may have some impact on certain outside forces, I believe we have lost at least two full meeting dates, which have been consumed by these procedural discussions, and it's probably getting past two full meeting dates at this point.

You're the ones who've lost them. I agree. You wasted two days.

Thank you.

Just for proper terminology, where it says “agrees to accept information” we are going to use the word “adduce”.

A recorded vote was requested.

(Motion agreed to: yeas 11; nays 0)

Since we never got to the rest of this here, I'm going to use my prerogative as chair and instruct the analyst to start writing the report on the oil sands based on the terms of reference as previously accepted by committee and the testimony that we heard.

With that, is there a motion to adjourn?

11 a.m.

Stephen Woodworth Conservative Kitchener Centre, ON

I so move.

We're out of here.

The meeting is adjourned.
