Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to thank the witnesses for being here.
Just before we begin, there's a little business that I feel we need to attend to. During our last meeting this week, the chair adjourned the meeting without following committee rules, and I would like to bring to attention, from the committee rules—this is chapter 20 on pages 785 to 787—and I'll just read it:
The committee Chair cannot adjourn the meeting without the consent of a majority of the members, unless the Chair decides that a case of disorder or misconduct is so serious as to prevent the committee from continuing its work.
I will say that at the last committee the instance was not happening—we were simply discussing a motion on housing—and so I just want to express my dissatisfaction on that, especially considering the important motion that we were discussing together.
