I'll put it to the committee.
Is the first motion, from Mr. Laforest, agreed to?
(Motion agreed to) [See Minutes of Proceedings]

This is a notice of motion, and I respect the fact that Monsieur Laforest has withdrawn the second motion until we actually have the 36 hours. We shouldn't be voting on anything that doesn't have 36 hours' notice.

Ted Menzies Conservative Macleod, AB
No, but there was a request at one point.
I'm making the point that we have a notice of motion. We have a rule for 36 hours; we didn't have 36 hours. Anyway, we've dealt with it and you have unanimous support for the first motion. I'm glad the second one was withdrawn. I just wanted that on the record.
I agree with Mr. Pacetti on the order of doing this, and I think that the clerk probably has it drawn out. Let's move on. We're going to run out of time in about two minutes. That's our future plan.

The Chair Conservative James Rajotte
Okay. I just want to clarify, though, that the two motions were in order because they were on future business. That's what I explained at the beginning of this session.

Conservative
The Chair Conservative James Rajotte
If the motion is on the business of the day, it is in order. It requires 36 hours if it is not on the business of the day.
Mr. Pacetti.

I want to clarify that as well, so we don't have any misunderstanding in the future. I think the error was that it says “notice of motion”, but it's actually a proposal for future business.
Okay, so we all agree.

The Chair Conservative James Rajotte
Do we have agreement to do an hour on the estimates on Tuesday, and for the Thursday meeting, is it the will of the committee to do estimates or to move to infrastructure?

Liberal
John McKay Liberal Scarborough—Guildwood, ON
We could do infrastructure, but you could reserve an hour on Wednesday and set it aside for supplementary estimates if you thought we needed it.
10:55 a.m.
Conservative
The Chair Conservative James Rajotte
How about we have the hour for estimates on Tuesday, we reserve two hours on Wednesday, and if we could get some witnesses or an indication from Mr. Mulcair as to what he would like to study, then on Thursday we'll move to infrastructure. Is that okay?
10:55 a.m.
Some hon. members
Agreed.

Thank you.
Please submit the names of your witnesses by e-mail or in person to the clerk for the upcoming meetings.
The meeting is adjourned.
