On a point of clarification, Mr. Crête, Bill C-50 would be the priority and then this would immediately follow that? Is that correct?

We should give priority to Bill C-50 which was referred to us by the House of Commons. The rules require us to study it. Apart from that, our priority would be the ABCP.

A clarification from the chair is that on Monday we have an already scheduled meeting. After that, it will likely be Bill C-50, and then the priority will be this motion.

I think that the steering committee should decide the way we go about it. That said, by request and as things unfold, we would make this matter a priority.

Massimo Pacetti Liberal Saint-Léonard—Saint-Michel, QC
Mr. Chairman, I have no problem with this motion, but we keep bringing up these up and then we never seem to finish any subject that we commence. As Mr. Crête has suggested, we should have a steering committee so that we can plan our work schedule between now and the end of June, because once the fall starts, we have the PBCs to consider.
So I have no problem with the motion.

We'll entertain a vote on the motion.
