Procedure and House Affairs Committee on April 17th, 2007

[The Chair, Conservative, Gary Goodyear]

Thank you.

Rather than interrupt the next member on a round, I propose we suspend this meeting to deal with the matters of the division bells and reconvene following the completion of those matters. However, if the matters of the division bells are not dealt with and there is less than 20 minutes left for this meeting--the matter goes beyond 12:40 on the clock—the meeting will be deemed adjourned at that point and not suspended.

Are there any objections? Seeing none, the meeting is therefore suspended.

Thank you.

[The Chair, Conservative, Gary Goodyear]

I will reconvene the meeting for a moment. The division bells are ringing again.

Our witnesses are obviously tied up with government business in the House. I would therefore ask for a motion to adjourn this meeting.

It is moved by Mr. Preston and seconded by Monsieur Proulx. Thank you. Therefore, we will adjourn this meeting and reschedule the witnesses at the earliest future date.

[The Clerk of the Committee, Ms. Lucile McGregor]

Hopefully it will be Tuesday the 24th.

[The Chair, Conservative, Gary Goodyear]

Is there any other business? Seeing none, the meeting is adjourned.
