Thank you.

Mr. Kelloway, I'm just not sure that it's been sent to FOPO. I don't see anything yet. I'm monitoring.

My understanding is that it has been sent, but I will check again right now.

Mr. Chair, may I, while we're waiting for this to come through...?

I would like to have time to present a motion before the close of the meeting today.

12:35 p.m.

Liberal

We can continue making motions. When 2:30 comes, if we haven't done the schedule, we're going to have to do it at the first meeting when we get back.

The Chair Liberal Ken McDonald

That's one o'clock Eastern Time. I'm sorry; I'm using Newfoundland time.

12:35 p.m.

Conservative

Rick Perkins Conservative South Shore—St. Margarets, NS

That speaks to the procedural motion I wanted to make, which is that if that were to happen, I suggest we have a meeting next Tuesday at the regularly scheduled time. Perhaps we can have a vote on that before we adjourn, just to make sure.

12:35 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Ken McDonald

If I have time to get to you, Mr. Perkins, I will.

Tina, are you in receipt of that motion yet? Okay, and has it been distributed to the members? Okay.

Liberal

Mike Kelloway Liberal Cape Breton—Canso, NS

Mr. Chair, I don't know if I can take 10 seconds just to speak to it, but if we're pressed for time, I'll take your lead on that.

12:35 p.m.

The Clerk

Mr. Kelloway, do you have the French to provide to me as well?

12:35 p.m.

Liberal

Mike Kelloway Liberal Cape Breton—Canso, NS

Everything has been sent. I'll double-check once again.

It's just the English for now, I've been told.

12:35 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Ken McDonald

Is the French coming any time soon?

12:35 p.m.

Liberal

Mike Kelloway Liberal Cape Breton—Canso, NS

Would it be possible to take a one-minute pause on this, Mr. Chair, no more than 60 seconds?

12:35 p.m.

Conservative

Bob Zimmer Conservative Prince George—Peace River—Northern Rockies, BC

I have a point of order, Mr. Chair. Our time is pretty tight today, so I don't know if this can wait. Maybe Mr. Arnold's motion can go ahead or something. I know time is very precious right now.

12:35 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Ken McDonald

Actually, it's my understanding that as it was read into the record by Mr. Kelloway, it was translated for everyone. I don't know if we have to wait for the actual transcribed copy of it in French. I can confirm with—

Conservative

Rick Perkins Conservative South Shore—St. Margarets, NS

On a point of order, I've always been told we have to provide it in both languages to the clerk. That's what I've been told, but I'm new.

12:35 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Ken McDonald

Tina, could you clarify that, please?

12:35 p.m.

The Clerk

Mr. Chair, we are under committee business. Motions can be moved from the floor.

The Chair Liberal Ken McDonald

Thank you.

Bob Zimmer Conservative Prince George—Peace River—Northern Rockies, BC

On a point of order, Mr. Chair, that's a new one. To be able to submit it only in English is a new one for me.
