Johanne Deschamps Bloc Laurentides—Labelle, QC

The bells are ringing, and so we only have a little time left. Duty calls.

Ms. Lalonde has drafted a motion addressing the troubling situation in Honduras, and I would like it to be given priority status at the next committee meeting.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Kevin Sorenson

When motions come in they go to the bottom of the list. Then we debate if we want the motion to be moved up. We'll have committee business at the next meeting, so that's when we can deal with that.

Thank you, everyone.

We're adjourned.
