Doesn't Mr. Saini's motion concern the Department of Agriculture and Agri-Food? Is it in order here?
Also, two and a half weeks ago, I sent another motion. Since everyone received it, I gather that the steering committee will conduct a study, as is the case for the other motions, to determine when we'll speak about it. Is that correct?

On a point of order, Madam Chair, because of the motion by Mr. Longfield, I thought we didn't need to talk about or discuss or vote on any of these other motions. Don't they just get read and passed straight to the chair?

The Chair Liberal Yasmin Ratansi
I think you are right, because that's what Mr. Longfield did say. Then Mr. Jeneroux asked whether the dilatory motion applies only today or in future. It applies for today only, so Mr. Saini's motion goes straight to the subcommittee. You are right. Thank you, Mr. Redekopp.
Is there any other business?
All in favour of adjournment?
5:10 p.m.
Some hon. members
