Sorry; is it Mr. Dong who has a point of order? Go ahead.

Han Dong Liberal Don Valley North, ON

I just want to clarify that I'm watching the time closely. I know there is question period. Can we adjourn? Can we have unanimous agreement to adjourn the meeting but not the debate, so that we can start next meeting by debating this motion?

1:25 p.m.

The Chair Conservative David Sweet

I can already tell you, first of all, that you can't move a motion on a point of order.

Second, I can see the faces now, and I'm certain that Mr. Angus has been waiting quite a long time in the speaking order, and so has Madame Gaudreau, so I don't see any reason to suspend. My job is to allow members to speak, and that's where we're at right now.

Go ahead, Madam Shanahan.

Brenda Shanahan Liberal Châteauguay—Lacolle, QC

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

So, I will continue.

I know this is difficult for the committee. We have been talking about committee business for a long time. However, I wanted to explain why the motion Mr. Dong put forward is very important to us. I believe that, even when we have the opportunity to do a study on an issue that can affect all Canadians, we will need to continue discussing it.

We have still had a good meeting so far. I therefore move that the meeting be adjourned.

1:30 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative David Sweet

A motion has been moved for the meeting to be adjourned.

Madam Clerk, do you want to record the vote?

(Motion agreed to: yeas 9; nays 1 [See Minutes of Proceedings])

Colleagues, I'll be calling a subcommittee meeting as soon as we have some space to plot for our next meeting. Thank you.

The meeting is adjourned.
