Okay, we're going to have a recorded vote.

That's what we're voting on, the amended motion. The amendment carried. The amended motion reads:
That pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), the Committee ask the Steering Committee to evaluate the invitation of Mr. Graham Thomson, author of the paper entitled “Burying Carbon Dioxide in Underground Saline Aquifers: Political Folly or Climate Change Fix?”, and other experts to discuss new information relating to the impact on Canada’s water resources of carbon capture and storage technology as potentially applied to the oil sands; or otherwise incorporate a discussion of Mr. Graham Thomson’s paper and its findings in the Committee’s final study report.
That is the motion as amended.
(Motion as amended agreed to)

The vote is carried, and it is unanimous.
Okay, we're at the end of our agenda. Just before I entertain Mr. Warawa, I want to remind everyone that we have a steering committee at 11 o'clock in room 237 across the hall. I ask the steering committee members to be there. If you can't be there, I ask that you have a substitute for you. That would be good.
I've also sent out an invitation as chair of the committee, inviting all our members for a Christmas lunch up in the Parliamentary restaurant, room 602, at noon.
Conservative
The Chair Conservative James Bezan
I'm buying. I invite all of you in to celebrate a little Christmas cheer and enjoy each other's fellowship in a more informal setting.
Go ahead, Mr. Warawa.
