On that same point of order, if I may, Mr. Chair, can we just hear from Mr. Chambers to that effect?
I took his intention to mean to move the motion.

Thank you, Mr. Blaikie and thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Chair, it was my intention to put that motion to the floor.
I hope we could deal with it expeditiously. It is on the floor. If we want to have the break now and then discuss it, I'd be happy to do that. I would hope we could deal with that motion perhaps by unanimous consent.

I'm sorry, Julie. I can't see the hands up on my end.

MP Dzerowicz, I apologize. Yes, I could not see the members. My apologies.

Julie Dzerowicz Liberal Davenport, ON
That's okay. I think Sophie was before me. I don't mind, if she has a comment before I do.

Mr. Chair, I welcome taking the break right now. Since I haven't seen the motion, I'd love to see it before we actually discuss it. We could move this to the end if that is amenable, since this is an outstanding and excellent conversation. We could start it either after the break or at the very end.
My preference is for the very end because I think we're actually getting through a lot of information. I'm okay to discuss this at the end, if Mr. Chambers is amenable. I'm happy to do it even in the last 15 minutes.

I would be open to that if I could get clarification that, since this motion is considered to be on the floor, it will be voted upon before the end of the meeting. In that case, I would be more than happy to move this to the last 15 minutes of the meeting.

Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Echoing my colleague, I would like to read it too. Mr. Chambers went very fast. I assume we don't have it in French. That's okay, but I would like to have a bit of time to read it.
Thank you.

Yes, Chair, there are hands up from the floor, here in Ottawa.

Thank you.
I would suggest that if we are in fact going to leave this motion until the last 15 minutes, if we could have a break right before that so that all members have looked at it and discussed it, that would be helpful as well. It doesn't have to be very long.

Okay, so it's about taking a break to have the members take a look at the motion and have a bio-break as well. We're also looking to have the motion in French.
I'm just going to see how the members....
Clerk, can you scan the room, please?
