Is everyone in agreement with that?
I will follow the guidance of the Speaker and just look for negatives. Does anybody oppose that suggestion?
Ms. Rempel Garner opposes.

Not “opposes”, but the motion is “after witness testimony”. I don't want this discussion to be taking over question rounds in the minister's time. My understanding would be that this would be, like, 15 minutes at the end of the next meeting.

Absolutely. There was no suggestion, there is no suggestion, and there will be no suggestion of impacting witness testimony.

On a point of order, Chair, that's not what I asked. It was on the question rounds after the witness testimony.

Mr. Chair, I believe that's where we were going. Certainly what I wanted was to have the discussion here, the 15 minutes on Monday, after our regular meeting is all over.

We have three people to speak, but we now have a motion on the floor, a motion to adjourn. I believe that's non-debatable.

We will have a vote on that. I will ask for dissent only.
If anyone opposes this motion, please indicate. Please wave at me.

Mr. Chair, could you please clarify the motion? Is this motion to adjourn now, or is this motion to move the debate to the 15 minutes after our questions?

The Chair Liberal Ron McKinnon
The motion is to adjourn the debate now until a date certain, which will be following the rounds of witness questioning on Monday.

Again I'll ask, does anyone dissent on this motion?
I am seeing no dissent....
Mr. Fisher, you waved at me. Is that dissent?

I was thinking that this is something we could just do today. I'm looking for Don to come up with some suggestion to make this....
I don't want to speak for Mr. Van Bynen on what he wanted, but maybe there is no terrible rush on this. The analysts could be working on something in parallel to all of our studies, with culminating information, and then maybe a report comes out after. I don't want to speak for Tony, and—

This isn't debatable, Mr. Chair. We're supposed to be voting.

Maybe we'll just be a little more direct and ask the clerk to take a vote on this motion.
The motion is to adjourn this debate now until Monday, following the rounds of questions that are currently scheduled.
Mr. Clerk, would you please conduct the vote?
(Motion agreed to: yeas 6; nays 5)
Thank you, Mr. Clerk.
The motion to adjourn has passed. This debate will be resumed following the two rounds of witness testimony on Monday.
With that, we will adjourn the meeting.
Thank you, everybody.
