Mr. Chair, to my understanding, he is moving a notice of motion, which is fine. He can put a motion on notice, but to debate the motion would be out of order, because the motion has not been moved.

Mr. Al Soud, you initially said that you were putting a motion on notice. I'll take that as you putting the motion on notice. It can be debated at the next regularly scheduled meeting.

I'm going to adjourn the meeting right now.
