Good morning, colleagues.
As you know, there is a bell ringing now for a vote to take place in ten minutes. Under the Standing Orders, a committee is not permitted to sit during the taking of votes, unless the committee gives its unanimous consent. So I'm going to ask right now if the committee gives its unanimous consent for us to proceed with our hearing at this time. Is there unanimous consent?
No, there's not, so I must suspend the meeting until after the vote. It should take about 15 minutes.
