I don't think it would be appropriate to debate it while we're still questioning our witnesses.

Madam Chair, I'm prepared to debate it if she's prepared to debate it. I request that we move in camera to debate the motion.

The Vice-Chair Conservative Patricia Davidson

A recorded vote has been called.

(Motion agreed to: yeas 4; nays 3)

We will pause for a couple of minutes as we move in camera. Before we do that I want to thank all of our witnesses today. It's certainly been a very interesting presentation that we've had from all four, and we thank you for that. It's given us a bit of a different perspective, I believe, on some of the testimony that we've heard. So thank you very much for your time.
