We will resume.

Mr. Villemure, I believe you had a point of order.

Bloc

René Villemure Bloc Trois-Rivières, QC

Yes, Mr. Chair. Thank you very much.

This meeting has become completely unproductive. We had committee business scheduled to discuss the agenda of the committee.

If it can't be done productively and it's resulting in the kind of conduct we've seen from members on the Liberal side, I move to adjourn the meeting.

5 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative John Brassard

We have a motion to adjourn the meeting. It's non-debatable. I'm going to see whether we have approval for that on a unanimous basis.

Mr. Masse, do you approve?

It's to adjourn and move to subcommittee. That's where we're going next.

Yes, I'll agree with that. This is not functional.

All right, thank you.
