I said I would see if there is agreement.
I will do you the favour, Mr. Barrett, because you feel that you can do this today.
Ms. Sahota, would you like to suspend?

I'm not doing this. If you have a concern with the chair, you can deal with it.
I know that I don't have agreement to suspend. My list has come to an end, therefore I have called the question.
I have entertained what you would like to do for long enough. I am calling the question.

Thank you, Madam Chair.
To our colleagues who are participating online, we had a discussion around this table. On members' good honour and good word, we came to an agreement that would end up removing (m) from my amendment and the main motion.
The way to do this procedurally would be for me to make a friendly amendment to what I had proposed. What I will propose again is that everything stands in my amendment, with the exception that subparagraph (m) is deleted.

The Chair Liberal Bardish Chagger
Since it is an amendment to your own amendment, I'm going to call the question on this amendment with its friendly amendment.
The question is on Mr. Fergus's amendment with his friendly amendment.
(Amendment agreed to: yeas 6; nays 5 [See Minutes of Proceedings])
Now we'll call the question on the main motion by Mr. Cooper as amended.
(Motion as amended agreed to: yeas 11; nays 0 [See Minutes of Proceedings])
5:20 p.m.

The Chair Liberal Bardish Chagger
Excellent. Thank you to all of you for finding a way forward. I appreciate this.
I will just note that within the motion as now passed with the support of all, there are meetings to be scheduled on February 23 and the week of February 27. As long as we can make witnesses happen and make stuff happen, we will do our best. The clerk is confident and we will try, but we will keep in touch with all members as to what is in the state of the possible or not. I think we always provide that leniency and leeway. We'll make sure there's ample notice provided.
With that, keep well and safe. Thank you so much.
The meeting is adjourned.
