On a point of order, Mr. Chair, we had a motion by Mr. Battiste.

The Chair Liberal Ken McDonald
No, I don't think it was a motion. I think he was suggesting that we would look at doing this first, that second, and that third, in some order of importance. It wasn't moved as a motion.
I'm not seeing any discrepancy in what I have just said.

I'm sorry, Mr. Chair, I might have left out the words,“ I move a motion”, but that's what I was proposing. It was a little bit vague, but that's the motion. Those were the priorities I was hoping we would vote on before we have to vote in the House.

I just worry that we're going to need conversation around this. If we run into the vote....
I think we should be talking about this, in fairness.
I'm excited, Jaime, to have further dialogue on salmon, as you can imagine—always—but I want to be respectful. There are other studies and we should have a fulsome dialogue, more than one minute.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Ken McDonald
Actually, it's not much more than one minute. There are about two minutes left before the committee time is up. I would suggest that, yes, we look at it in a more fulsome way for the schedule. It's going to be tight to get in what we want to get done. I think we have to be cognizant of the fact that we are going to be interrupted over the next six or seven weeks for votes and whatnot. We are probably going to lose some committee time along the way as well. I don't think we should try to jam everything up. As a committee, we should look seriously at what we want to get out of it before we recess in June.

Mr. Chair, I will withdraw it and make that motion to adjourn instead.

The Chair Liberal Ken McDonald
There is a motion to adjourn.
We are adjourned. I'll see you all at the next committee, and probably before that. Thank you.
