We're going to call our meeting to order.
Welcome. We have an hour and 20 minutes to go through committee business as well as the draft report on the long-form census. We'll try to get through the committee business as fast as we can so we can get to the report.
We are going to begin with a motion by Mr. Lessard. Just to recap, Mr. Lessard had moved a motion. I had ruled it out of order. My ruling was challenged and overturned.
Right now, we are at the point where we will begin to debate Mr. Lessard's motion. I do believe that we have a speaking list. We'll hear the speakers on it before we proceed to a vote. At this point I'll check to see if the people on the speaking list still desire to speak.
Mr. Martin, I had you to speak to Mr. Lessard's motion. Do you wish to speak at this time?
