Can we have a vote on adjourning debate?
(Motion negatived: 6 nays; 5 yeas)
The debate continues.
We will continue to discuss the motion.
For the record, I've been generous so far with the MPs who table motions while we have witnesses. I allowed the person to use the rest of their speaking time after the motion had been adopted or rejected, but I'm told that things are done differently in the House. Once you table a motion, you lose the rest of your speaking time. From now on, the mover of the motion, regardless of party, will lose the rest of their speaking time; it has to be fair to everyone.
There's a vote in the House today. I therefore ask the members of the committee if they give me permission to continue the meeting until five minutes before the vote. I assume everyone will stay here to vote online.
I seem to have the committee's agreement on this.
The next speaker is Mr. Bachrach.
