The Chair Conservative James Rajotte

No, I'm going to deal with the second motion right after this vote.

(Motion agreed to [See Minutes of Proceedings])

You all have the second motion from Mr. Hoback.

Are you going to move it, Mr. Hoback?

Chair, on the second motion, again I believe you all have it in front of you. I think it's pretty straightforward. I'll just leave it at that for now.

1:45 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative James Rajotte

I think the answer is yes, but I just want to clarify that you will give the chair some flexibility in terms of scheduling if this passes. For instance, if it's the first week of November, you'll give me flexibility...?

Randy Hoback Conservative Prince Albert, SK

That is assumed, Chair.

The Chair Conservative James Rajotte

I appreciate that; I just wanted to clarify it.

I'll just speak to this. I did speak to Mr. Page, because last year we tried to have him come at scheduled times twice a year, which frankly seemed to work better. We did have him included in a panel with other economists, which frankly did not seem to work that well.

So this would be for him to come twice a year. It's a fairly straightforward motion.

(Motion agreed to [See Minutes of Proceedings])

Thank you, colleagues.

The meeting is adjourned.
