I'm understanding there is agreement that if officials are providing insights, we can ask Ms. Telford to let us know who will be accompanying her in the room. That way, if there's a line of questioning, we are ready with the name tags and what they do.

Does that provide some satisfaction? I tend to usually have some leniency to make sure members are equipped for a successful meeting. I will use that leniency unless someone tells me I don't have it. Are we good there?

That would satisfy me, Madam Chair.

That's always a goal. Thank you, Mr. Fergus.

Mr. Nater? Okay, thank you.

I am going to call the question on Mr. Julian's amendment. For the record, the amendment is that the word “alone”, which is after “appear”, be removed. Keep “for”, insert “a minimum of two hours”, remove “three hours”, and the rest reads until the next part.

(Amendment agreed to: yeas 11; nays 0 [See Minutes of Proceedings])

Thank you.

Unless there is conversation and discussion, we can go to the main motion as amended, as amended, as amended.

(Motion as amended agreed to: yeas 11; nays 0 [See Minutes of Proceedings])

Thank you.

The motion as amended multiple times passes.

With that, I'm hoping we can get an hour of our lives back. Does anybody else have something else to talk about?

I'm going to give you a quick update on redistribution. We did, as was requested, send out a chart to show you the breakdown of everything. We will have some conversations among colleagues in the subcommittee to figure out the way forward for redistribution. Maybe we can get to that next week, as it is budget week.

Following that, as per the motion that just passed, we will be setting up a time for Ms. Telford to come. The clerk will reach out to find out her availability, and then we'll try to start working on some of that information so that we are prepped for that meeting accordingly.

I see heads nodding. Excellent.

With that, I'm going to adjourn the meeting.

Have a great day.
