Mr. Chair, I see that Mr. Beech is doing some exercises with his thumb. I'm wondering if we should suspend, or if he's okay to continue.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Peter Fonseca
It's his thumb stretches. I don't know; he might be cramping up.
Shall clause 561 carry?

Marty Morantz Conservative Charleswood—St. James—Assiniboia—Headingley, MB
Sir, what clause are we on? The sound in here is so terrible.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Peter Fonseca
We are on clause 561.

Mr. Chair, I have a point of order.

I'm wondering if the committee would agree to a UC to have the PBO appear before the end of session. In exchange, the Conservatives would agree to lump—
Conservative
Philip Lawrence Conservative Northumberland—Peterborough South, ON
I can't think, for the life of me, of the appropriate verb. My apologies. The grouping, that's it. It's a big word. Sorry, it's been a long couple of days.
We would be grouping the clauses and, where possible, passing them on division if we can agree by unanimous consent to have the PBO here before the end of the year. I'm sure we'll hear from the PBO anyway.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Peter Fonseca
We're not mixing those things up, so we're not doing that.
However, we can group if you'd like to just group. Right now, MP Lawrence, we are at clause 579. Would you like to group all the way to 632, our next amendment? We can go from 579 to 632 if there's UC.
Conservative
Philip Lawrence Conservative Northumberland—Peterborough South, ON
Could you just test to see whether we have UC for the PBO to come, and maybe then we can group these?
Conservative
Philip Lawrence Conservative Northumberland—Peterborough South, ON
I do enjoy spending time with you, Mr. Chair, but—
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Peter Fonseca
I don't think it would be appropriate to mix those things, but if you did want to group those clauses—
Conservative
Philip Lawrence Conservative Northumberland—Peterborough South, ON
I don't think there's anything in the rules that this would violate. Can I just test the UC, with your permission?
Conservative
