To go back to my point of order....

The Chair Liberal Francis Scarpaleggia

We're not summonsing anybody with a motion that says “invite”. It doesn't say.... What we're doing here is after “Catherine McKenna”. The wording is the same as that in the original motion. It's just that we're adding names.

Oh, there is the word “summon”. Okay.

Mr. van Koeverden, maybe you want to change “summon” to “invite”.

Adam van Koeverden Liberal Milton, ON

Yes, I do, for all of them.

The Chair Liberal Francis Scarpaleggia

Okay.

That's the amendment. We're going to write it down and distribute it to everybody by email. It's not that complicated. We're changing “summon” to “invite”, and we're adding Leona Aglukkaq, Peter Kent and his then policy adviser, Melissa Lantsman.

Go ahead on your point of order, yes.

Dane Lloyd Conservative Sturgeon River—Parkland, AB

I believe there was already an invitation sent out to former minister McKenna, which was declined. The reason for the summons is to compel former minister McKenna to come. It would be appropriate, I think, to maintain the word “summon”. I know this is debate, but the invitation—

The Chair Liberal Francis Scarpaleggia

You can vote against the amendment.

Ms. Taylor Roy.

Leah Taylor Roy Liberal Aurora—Oak Ridges—Richmond Hill, ON

Can I put forward a motion to adjourn? We're over time. This is committee business and people have to go.

The Chair Liberal Francis Scarpaleggia

There is a motion to adjourn. We're going to have a vote.

6:45 p.m.

Conservative

Dan Mazier Conservative Dauphin—Swan River—Neepawa, MB

How about a motion to suspend?

The Chair Liberal Francis Scarpaleggia

We have a motion to adjourn. If that is defeated, you can have a motion to suspend—though I don't think there's much of a difference, in this case.

We have a motion to adjourn. We're going to vote. Then we'll take it from there, depending on the result of the vote.

(Motion agreed to: yeas 7; nays 4)
