I suggest that we postpone the vote on this motion for two weeks so that we can evaluate the situation accurately. I refers to “[...] the recent Cabinet decision to issue a remission order cancelling the obligation [...]”. This is a very specific, very particular case. It would be advisable that we set aside some time to examine it before voting on the motion. We could vote after having concluded our study.
Can we move to table the motion?

It could be an amendment or a motion to postpone the vote on this motion until our analysis is over and we have tabled our report on the budget consultations.

I will put this to the mover of the motion. If the mover would be willing to put this off for two weeks, then I would accept that. If not, I would accept that as--

We would be voting on the motion in two weeks after having examined the implications.

I would accept that, pending circulation of information to committee members, so we could defer the vote.

This is just a question: who's going to circulate the information so that we're all up to speed on the background?

Monsieur Crête is correct in saying that perhaps this is very specific to one case, and perhaps by looking at some background information we can decide whether we should pursue it or have more than one meeting.

Fair enough. So we'll bring it back in two weeks' time, Mr. Turner.
We have one other motion. Mr. Dykstra has put this forward. He's not here. We have others who will do it, but we'd need--

[Inaudible--Editor]...discuss it with Mr. Dykstra, if I have consensus....

No, it was in on Friday, but it was never sent out until this morning.

The Chair Conservative Rob Merrifield
It was in within the proper time, that's the thing. It was 36 hours. Remember, we debated that? It's within the 36 hours, and that's the problem with it.
Liberal
Massimo Pacetti Liberal Saint-Léonard—Saint-Michel, QC
Look, this is my original motion, and I've been discussing with Rick how to present this.
Liberal
Massimo Pacetti Liberal Saint-Léonard—Saint-Michel, QC
No, but if we're going to go to our pre-budget consultations, I think we should just defer it until Wednesday, until Mr. Dykstra is here. There is no rush anyway.
Conservative
The Chair Conservative Rob Merrifield
That's fine. Are we good with that? Okay. Let's defer that. I see consensus on that one.
I will just declare that we move in camera and away we go.

Yes, once in a while. You don't get much authority in this committee, I realize that.
One assistant per member is allowed, so I would ask the remainder to vacate the room and then we'll proceed.
