Yes, if the analysts or somebody can shed light on it, because I don't remember seeing this. We used to group everybody together, so I have no idea.

The Chair Conservative Tom Lukiwski
Yes, I'm not sure. Frankly, I can't understand the relevance of this and why the committee adopted it in the last session. I don't think we have any corporate knowledge of this, frankly.

I believe we probably could.
If we do not adopt it now, it will not be part of the package of routine motions. However, in the future, the committee can always revisit routine motions any time it wishes. If you wish to just ignore that and go on as every other standing committee does, and if we see a need to adopt this sometime in the future, the committee can certainly recommend it. We can discuss it and vote upon it then.

I concur with you, because I see no reason for such a motion to be there.

The Chair Conservative Tom Lukiwski
Yes. Frankly, I can't understand it, unless there's somebody who sees a reason.

Then we won't miss it.

Mr. Chair, I've reread it. It will confuse the living daylights out of the committee itself, so we might as well remove it.
3:55 p.m.
Some hon. members
Agreed.

Since we now have a Subcommittee on Agenda and Procedure, I would suggest that the subcommittee meet at its earliest opportunity and perhaps invite the analysts to see if they have any other information they could bring to us from the previous Parliament as to ongoing studies. If that is the case, the chair then will call the meeting of the Subcommittee on Agenda and Procedure after consultation with all parties, particularly the government and Mr. Weir. We'll have that sometime in the next 24 to 48 hours, hopefully.
We have a meeting established for this coming Thursday. That's our regular sitting time, but until such time as we have an agenda, it will be at the call of the chair. Does that meet with the approval of the committee?
3:55 p.m.
Some hon. members
Agreed.

The Chair Conservative Tom Lukiwski
Okay. Not seeing any further questions, I call this meeting adjourned.
