Okay, and you are going to give this notice of motion to the clerk, who will arrange for translation.
Conservative
Mike Wallace Conservative Burlington, ON
That's right. I need to do it, but not in my scratchy handwriting.
Bloc
Robert Vincent Bloc Shefford, QC
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.
Conservative
The Vice-Chair Conservative David Tilson
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?
Bloc
Carole Lavallée Bloc Saint-Bruno—Saint-Hubert, QC
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.
Conservative
The Vice-Chair Conservative David Tilson
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.
Bloc
Carole Lavallée Bloc Saint-Bruno—Saint-Hubert, QC
Of course. I've received the translation. I'd like to debate it now.
Conservative
The Vice-Chair Conservative David Tilson
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?
Liberal
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.
Conservative
The Vice-Chair Conservative David Tilson
Thank you, Mr. Regan.
Thank you very much. The committee is adjourned until Thursday morning at 9 o'clock.
