Firstly, if my memory serves me correctly--and most members around this committee will say I have a pretty good memory--I was at that meeting and I do not recollect that there was the agreement Mr. Hill is talking about. Secondly, I'm insulted on behalf of the other members who were at that meeting for Mr. Hill to impugn the honour and integrity and honesty of everyone at that meeting.
However, I would point out to Mr. Hill that if he reads this correctly, if this motion is adopted, it is to be reported to the House forthwith. The House itself will make its determination as to whether or not it wishes the Standing Orders in effect on October 5, including the provisional standing orders, to be made permanent or not.
