Mr. Chair, would it be possible to suspend the meeting briefly so that I can look over the motion in French?

The Chair Liberal Ken McDonald
Yes, that's fine. I understand the clerk is going to send this out in both official languages.
I will let everyone know that we have approximately three minutes left for committee.

Mr. Chair, we could simply make this a notice of motion, since we must adjourn soon.

I see Mr. Mazier is in agreement, and he's the one who proposed the motion.
I don't think we have much time left to do much in the way of debate or moving another motion, so I suggest that anybody with motions come forward and we'll deal with it at committee business at the next go-around. We'll vote on this motion when we come back to our next meeting.
I wish everybody a good evening, and thank you.

Thank you for your adept handling of the committee today.
Just so we're clear, are you committing to having committee business on the agenda for the next meeting regardless of what the next meeting has?

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt you, sir, but you basically just told my colleague that we don't have time today to deal with his issues, and the next time we'll be able to deal with this is at committee business. I'm just looking for a commitment from you, Chair, that committee business will be on the agenda at the next meeting, regardless of whether we're hearing from witnesses. If we could take five or 10 minutes to deal with these motions, it's important.
I'm just looking for that clarification, sir.
5:55 p.m.

The Chair Liberal Ken McDonald
Okay. I think I'll ask for consent from the committee to carve off the last 10 or 15 minutes, if we can get a two-hour session, to deal with committee business at the end of the meeting, especially if we get extra time this Wednesday.
5:55 p.m.
Some hon. members
Agreed.

The Chair Liberal Ken McDonald
Seeing all thumbs-up, I think we're good to go.
Again, thank you, everyone.
Hopefully we'll do a bit better with the mute and unmute next time, and hopefully when the clerk checks on it we can add an additional meeting this coming Wednesday. Please get in your witnesses to the clerk as soon as possible.
Good evening, everyone. We now stand adjourned.
