On a point of order, Mr. Chair, we've seen these numbers switch back and forth three or four times now. I'm 100% clear that it was six in favour and five against—100% clear—so I don't know where this new number is coming from.

I do have some comments, but I'll wait until we decide what we're doing here.

The Clerk
Therefore, the vote was indeed six yeas and five nays.
If you give me a moment, I can read out the motion as amended.
11:15 a.m.
The Clerk
The motion as amended reads as follows:
That the officials appear in front of the committee for one hour on January 31, 2022, on the subject of the processing times that exceed the goal of a 30-day service standard for responding to Canadian Employment Insurance claimants at Service Canada.
That is the motion as amended.

Committee members, you have heard the motion as amended. Is there any further debate or any other discussion?
Go ahead, Mr. Ruff.

Thanks, Chair.
As Madame Chabot had introduced her amendment earlier, and it's inadmissible for her to make that amendment to the now amended motion, I will so move what she had read into the record.

Could we have that repeated, Mr. Ruff—or Madam Clerk, if we have that?

If the clerk could do it, that would make my life easier. Again, I'm not writing everything down here, as we're in committee.
