The Chair Conservative Pat Kelly

All right, I have Monsieur Villemure.

René Villemure Bloc Trois-Rivières, QC

Would it be possible to ensure that everyone has the right equipment tomorrow? We need to be able to hear what people are saying. Unfortunately, there are times when I can't hear Mr. Fergus, which is unfortunate because I like to hear what he has to say.

Thank you.

The Chair Conservative Pat Kelly

You are correct, Monsieur Villemure, we have had a little bit of audio trouble from time to time. Mr. Fergus was cutting in and out a little and was hard to hear at some moments. I'm not sure what we can do about that other than to ensure that there's awareness.

I have both.... I don't know who's first. I think it's Ms. Khalid first. We just had Greg, so go ahead, Iqra.

Iqra Khalid Liberal Mississauga—Erin Mills, ON

Thanks, Chair.

In the interest of the plan that you presented, which I find to be a reasonable one, I move that the debate be adjourned until tomorrow on this motion.

5:30 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Pat Kelly

The motion with the condition added there becomes debatable, so is there anybody who wishes to speak to the motion?

Iqra, you could remove the condition and say simply that debate be adjourned on the motion. Okay, adjourned until tomorrow.

There is no debate, so if it's okay either way, then we'll go to the vote.

Iqra Khalid Liberal Mississauga—Erin Mills, ON

Sorry, Chair, I believe Mr. Fergus' hand has been up.

The Chair Conservative Pat Kelly

Okay, I think his camera disengaged, and then when that happens I no longer see his hand.

Go ahead, Mr. Fergus.

Greg Fergus Liberal Hull—Aylmer, QC

My apologies, I was going back to reading the motion on my P9 email account.

I would like to apologize to all members, particularly my colleague from the Bloc Québécois. The reason I don't have the headset is because the meeting was called while I was out of the country, and I didn't have my headset or my computer with me. I'm sorry about that.

Again, I apologize to all my colleagues and to the interpreters.

5:30 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Pat Kelly

All right, we're at this point.... If there's no other debate then we can vote on Iqra's motion, which is to adjourn debate.

(Motion agreed to)

With that, we are past our time. The meeting is adjourned.
