Chair, this was an issue brought up by Ms. Gagnon at the beginning of the meeting. She asked for this motion to be dealt with. She wanted it to be dealt with. Now she would like to pull it off the table and deal with it at the next meeting. I would suggest that we get on and let's deal with it. We have a couple of things we'd like to speak to about it. Let's move it forward. We have hearings starting. We may as well deal with it now.

I have to leave immediately. I thought we would finish at 12:30 and not 12:40.

It's your motion, and if it's not introduced, then we can't debate it. That's the situation the chair finds himself in.

If the motion had been introduced, then we would have to vote on it, but it hasn't been, so it just sits there.
On the motion, I can tell you my suggestion, and that's that the intent of the motion may be fine; I would just prefer to have voted on this after we hear.... But that's a discussion on the motion. I'll just leave that in the hands of the mover, because that's the situation. That's the opinion I would have on it.
At any rate, I see that our business is done here. I want to thank everyone for being here. And accept my apologies for being late.
The meeting is adjourned.
