There is a motion to adjourn on the table right now, Madam Chair, which is not debatable. We need to vote on that. It was moved by a Conservative member. You have given some latitude to answering some of Mr. Lukiwski's questions, but we do need to vote on this now.

Thank you, Madam Chair. If I could possibly ask one more question for clarification....
Mark, you are right that we will be voting on the adjournment motion, but my clarification is simply in response to the chair's statement that she has to consult with the House administration to make sure there are adequate resources for our next meeting. My understanding is that PROC is the only committee that consistently meets at a regularly scheduled time, on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 11 a.m. The timing and location of all other committee meetings are adjusted. PROC is the only one, to my understanding, whose meetings remain constant. That's why I wondered whether or not we would be having another meeting on Thursday at 11 a.m.
Whether it is a hybrid or in-person meeting doesn't really matter. Since PROC's meetings are a constant, I was just trying to get clarification on whether or not we would meet on Thursday.

Unfortunately, my response to the question is going to be the same as the one I gave before. I am just not aware at this time. I have to confer with the clerk and the team to see if we can get back that time slot on this coming Thursday. You will be informed as soon as possible about that.
We will resume the recorded vote on adjournment.

The question is, shall the committee adjourn?
(Motion agreed to: yeas 6; nays 5)
The motion to adjourn is carried.

Okay, it looks like notice will go out for the next meeting and we should be back meeting on committee business the next time we meet.
I call today's meeting adjourned.
