Okay, and you are going to give this notice of motion to the clerk, who will arrange for translation.

That's right. I need to do it, but not in my scratchy handwriting.

I hope Mr. Wallace will check his motion against the article he has distributed to us. It shouldn't be a speech. However, the way in which he spoke was reminiscent of a speech. I'd like it to be more condensed.

Stop. The notice of motion has been made.
If there is no further business, we will adjourn until Thursday morning at 9 o'clock. Is there further business?

Mr. Chairman, the committee has received a motion at the table a number of times. In another committee, we received a motion like this one, and the entire committee agreed to accept it and to vote on it when it was introduced. I remember that very clearly. Mr. Regan, you were on the Human Resources Committee when we debated the anti-strike breaking bill. That's what we did. A motion was introduced, and we accepted it.
The motion is announced. I'd like us to debate it and to vote on it immediately.

Madame Lavallée, you're making a request that it be debated now—is that what you're saying?—in spite of the fact that it hasn't been translated.

Carole Lavallée Bloc Saint-Bruno—Saint-Hubert, QC
Of course. I've received the translation. I'd like to debate it now.

The chair will take the position that if there is unanimous consent, you will have your request.
Is there unanimous consent?

Conservative
The Vice-Chair Conservative David Tilson
There doesn't appear to be unanimous consent, Madam Lavallée.
Mr. Regan, do you have a point of order?

Geoff Regan Liberal Halifax West, NS
Mr. Chair, I just want to note that this must be a first, for a member to deny unanimous consent for his own motion to be heard and discussed in a committee.

Thank you, Mr. Regan.
Thank you very much. The committee is adjourned until Thursday morning at 9 o'clock.
