I would say it's a parliamentary term, a guillotine motion.

It does sound so severe, a closure motion, an end-date motion. It's a motion that has a set end date whereby this shall be debated and sent back to the House. Again, it's not that we're not willing to agree to the motion. If there's an indication from the government that they are willing to acknowledge some of our amendments to have that discussion, to have that commitment on the record that they are willing to entertain certain of our amendments, I would be happy to further this conversation. Unfortunately, I don't think we're there at this point.
Mr. Chair, I see that you're signalling me.

The hour is up. Is it the will of the committee? We have a motion of adjournment on the floor. It's not debatable.

It's not debatable. I can't debate this, but I think we should keep with the recorded votes.
