Are you also suggesting that we could have a subcommittee meeting to try to figure out when we could work it into the schedule?

That's fine, too.
Also, I have a question on travel. Not all of us are travelling starting the week of May 11, and there may be a possibility for some of the committee to get together to do that.

The Chair Conservative Dean Allison
The only problem is that we'll have no support staff at that point.
I have Massimo.

I know it's not my committee, but to offer advice, in our committee every time we put in time limits we never respect them, because things come up.
I would just as well vote for a motion like this, have the officials come forward, and then at that point have your steering committee meeting and decide where you want to go and how many meetings you want to have. The officials will provide you with more information at that point.
I'm in favour of the motion as is, and I would recommend that the committee go ahead with it.

The Chair Conservative Dean Allison
Okay. Is there any more discussion on the proposed amendment?
Go ahead, Ed.

Ed Komarnicki Conservative Souris—Moose Mountain, SK
Mr. Chair, in light of the discussion I'm hearing, I think it would be appropriate for me to withdraw the amendment and have the motion as it stands, with the understanding that the time would be set having regard to the staff and whatever else we're doing.
Conservative
The Chair Conservative Dean Allison
Do we have unanimous consent to withdraw the amendment?
(Amendment withdrawn)
Great. Then we'll go back to the main motion as it was read out earlier. Is there any more discussion on that?
Sorry, did you have a final comment, Mr. Lessard?

The Chair Conservative Dean Allison
Most definitely.
All right. We'll have a recorded vote.
(Motion agreed to: yeas 11; nays 0)
We're at one o'clock, so I'm going to adjourn the meeting. We'll be meeting with the ministers when we meet next Tuesday.
The meeting is adjourned.
