I do not want to debate, Mr. Chair. I just want to understand the motion. Is it asking that we call the law clerk and parliamentary counsel to the next meeting, or is it to postpone this issue until later?

Colleagues, this is not a debatable motion. If members would like to debate, carry on debate or seek clarification, they will have to vote this motion down and then continue the debate. If members would like to do that, they can vote this motion down. However, this is not a debatable motion, so we will move to the vote immediately.
Madam Clerk, please assist me with the roll call.
(Motion agreed to: yeas 6; nays 4)
Members, I will take your instruction.
The meeting is adjourned.
