All right.

The Chair Liberal Larry Bagnell

Is there any more discussion on the motion?

David Graham Liberal Laurentides—Labelle, QC

Yes. I just have one point of clarification.

I'd like to ensure that this will be the end of our witnesses. There will be no further sudden asks for another witness. These CEOs will finish our witness list on the study.

The Chair Liberal Larry Bagnell

Is there any further discussion on the motion?

Conservative

Scott Reid Conservative Lanark—Frontenac—Kingston, ON

Just give us a second to figure this out.

It's the end of the witnesses—

David Graham Liberal Laurentides—Labelle, QC

We're asking for your gentleman's agreement on that. The motion does not include it.

An hon. member

A gentleperson's agreement.

David Graham Liberal Laurentides—Labelle, QC

Thank you. Yes, it's a gentleperson's agreement, or a diplomat's agreement.

The Chair Liberal Larry Bagnell

Do you need further discussion on the motion?

12:45 p.m.

Conservative

Scott Reid Conservative Lanark—Frontenac—Kingston, ON

Sorry, give us time. Nobody talk while I'm—

Scott Reid Conservative Lanark—Frontenac—Kingston, ON

I won't be part of the decision-making, but you'll all agree that I am by far the most entertaining person on this side.

12:45 p.m.

Calgary Midnapore, CPC

Stephanie Kusie

Chair, we'll have to discuss this. I can't agree to it.

David Graham Liberal Laurentides—Labelle, QC

Are you prepared to continue past 1 o'clock to get it finished?

12:45 p.m.

Calgary Midnapore, CPC

Stephanie Kusie

I don't know if that will be necessary. I don't think it will take that long to discuss.

David Graham Liberal Laurentides—Labelle, QC

I appreciate that.

12:45 p.m.

Calgary Midnapore, CPC

Stephanie Kusie

I think we can quickly discuss that and come to an agreement, or not, amongst ourselves. I'll report back in—

12:50 p.m.

Conservative

Scott Reid Conservative Lanark—Frontenac—Kingston, ON

I have a one o'clock meeting myself, so I would like to....

A voice

You should be voting on the motion—

12:50 p.m.

Calgary Midnapore, CPC

Stephanie Kusie

Yes, let's vote on the motion, not the gentleman's agreement part.

David Graham Liberal Laurentides—Labelle, QC

Where's the list right now?

The Chair Liberal Larry Bagnell

It's long.

David Graham Liberal Laurentides—Labelle, QC

Who's next?
