We've certainly have had some good debate. Are there any more members who have sought to speak?
Okay, there being no further members to speak, I want to put the question on the amendment. Colleagues, do you understand what the amendment is? Would you like me to try to read it? Everybody is aware of what we're voting on? Read the amendment? Mr. Del Mastro would like that.
The motion, as amended, is that the chair take all necessary actions to report to the House on September 15, 2008, all of the persons on the committee-approved witness list who have not yet appeared before the committee, and that the chair consult the Speaker of the House for direction.
So that is Madame Lavallée's motion with the Del Mastro amendment overlaid, so you have the motion as it would read, with the amendment concurred in.
We're going to vote on the changes that Mr. Del Mastro proposed to the committee. Please call the roll.
(Amendment negatived: nays 6; yeas 5)
The amendment is defeated.
Now I'll put the question on the unamended motion of Madame Lavallée. Please call the roll.
(Motion agreed to: yeas 6; nays 5)
Colleagues, the Lavallée motion is adopted. Thank you for the additional work for the rest of the summer, but the good news is that I will be spending some time with Speaker and I am very, very interested. Well, I'm reporting to the Speaker because I'll be travelling with him for 10 days.
We've now finished our scheduled business. There was a motion passed that at the end of our scheduled business we would then hear Mr. Goldstein.
Is Mr. Goldstein in the room, ready to appear?
