Mr. Chair, I thought that you said that the meeting would finish at 11:30 a.m. I just want to move an amendment quickly. We can then proceed to the vote. It will take two minutes.

Mr. Chair, I'm simply moving an amendment to the motion concerning the national school food program so that we can spend four meetings on this topic, since the program already exists.

I have a point of order, Chair.
If something's on the table, it has to be on the table. We have to see it, and we can talk about it.
I don't know what your plan is, but this is not how we transact official business.

Maybe, Chair, you can clarify what we're doing. Then we can—

Just to clarify, Madame Desrochers moved to resume debate on the motion that was introduced by Madam Koutrakis and that was adjourned by Mr. Genuis at the last meeting. She moved to resume debate on the motion that was adjourned.
Madame Larouche.

Let me clarify that my amendment seeks to change the number of meetings to a maximum of four.

I have a point of order.
Are we on debate on that motion? We don't automatically resume it just because someone's moved to resume it.
You know this, Chair.

There was a motion to resume debate, but that motion must be approved by the committee by a recorded vote or unanimity.

We don't think, given that another committee is coming in here in 20 minutes, that this is the right time to talk about it.

Committee members, order.
We'll do a recorded vote on the motion of Madam Desrochers. We're in committee business.

Order.
The committee chose to go in business as a motion of yours, Mr. Genuis. We're in committee business.
The motion of Madame Desrochers was to resume debate on the motion of Madam Koutrakis that was adjourned.
We'll have a recorded vote on that motion, Clerk.
(Motion agreed to: yeas 5; nays 4)
The motion was carried, but we are running out of time.
Do I have agreement from the committee to adjourn?
The motion was adopted, but we are running out of resources.
