Thanks, Chair.
I want to make sure that everyone has their members at the table, so that if a vote comes to pass we're able to do that. I'd like to satisfy that first. That's important.
I guess if there's an interest in actually voting on the motion, with comments.... If the desire is not to bring it to a vote, and that's going to be the outcome 15 minutes before the end of the meeting or in the next couple of minutes when we move to the witness panel, then I would say let's just get to the voting. However, if there's an intention that this will come to a vote, I hope with the support of all members of the committee....
I guess that would be my question. In the spirit of collaboration, where this occurs on the meeting agenda with the least possible amount of disruption and where all members are at the table, then that would be my preference if I had my druthers. If we're just looking to.... If we're just going to fall off the end of the meeting, then we should dispose of it now, I suppose.
That would be my question back. If we think we can dispose of it at the end of the meeting, then I would support Mr. Fergus's suggestion and we can get to the witness panel.
