No, it was voted.

Caroline Desrochers Liberal Trois-Rivières, QC

Do we think we can sort this out in five minutes, Mr. Chair?

The Chair Liberal Bobby Morrissey

Well, the motion that you moved was accepted by the committee, but....

The motion to return to debate, Madam Koutrakis, was adopted by the committee.

Caroline Desrochers Liberal Trois-Rivières, QC

Yes, and Madame Larouche had an amendment to propose.

The Chair Liberal Bobby Morrissey

Okay, but the motion to return to debate was approved by the committee.

Caroline Desrochers Liberal Trois-Rivières, QC

We're approving her—

The Chair Liberal Bobby Morrissey

We're returning to debate.

Caroline Desrochers Liberal Trois-Rivières, QC

Madame Larouche had an amendment.

The Chair Liberal Bobby Morrissey

Yes, Madame Larouche had an amendment. Then I'll go to Mr. Genuis.

Madame Larouche.

Andréanne Larouche Bloc Shefford, QC

I repeat that I'm simply moving an amendment so that we hold a maximum of four meetings.

Jessica Fancy-Landry Liberal South Shore—St. Margarets, NS

We are in agreement.

The Chair Liberal Bobby Morrissey

Madame Larouche, you moved the motion that the study would be up to four meetings. Is that correct?

Andréanne Larouche Bloc Shefford, QC

Yes. That's what I just said.

The Chair Liberal Bobby Morrissey

Mr. Genuis, is there discussion on the amendment of Madame Larouche?

Thank you, Chair.

Just to review the business of the committee that brings us to the point of deciding what additional studies we could do and when we would do them, I want to observe that, first of all, this committee has two pieces of legislation it's currently studying. A third, a government bill, is expected to come from the House, as well as, by my count, roughly half a dozen other studies that have been approved or opened.

The Chair Liberal Bobby Morrissey

Mr. Genuis, I have to interrupt and advise that the committee does not have resources now.

With that, I must either suspend or adjourn.

10:40 a.m.

Conservative

Garnett Genuis Conservative Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan, AB

I would move to adjourn, then.

The Chair Liberal Bobby Morrissey

Thank you.

Is it the will of the committee to adjourn?

Some hon. members

Agreed.

The Chair Liberal Bobby Morrissey

The committee is adjourned.
