First of all, you can probably tell that the chair is trying to move along so we can get the order of business done. That's number one.
Number two, that means that the debate on this issue and your questions are out of order, because debate is over and your name was not on the list when I asked if there were any other questions regarding this motion. However, having said that, I would prefer that the committee make the decision, after this vote, on the order it will follow. If I find that we can't seem to get forward on it, then I suppose the chair will have to make the decision. I have heard the suggestion, through the debate, that we leave 15 minutes at the end, which inclines me to believe that this requires a 15-minute conversation. It seems to me that if we just move forward on these items, we might get them all done, but to sit here and niggle about these little points will not get anything done.
I have listened to the debate from all members and asked if anybody else had anything to say. We are at a voting stage on this motion, so I'm going to call the question now. It will be a recorded vote.
I will read the motion again, if members wish.
That the committee on procedure and House affairs study the Elections Canada decision to allow veiled individuals to vote. This study be completed by Friday, September 14, 2007.
