Soraya Martinez Ferrada Liberal Hochelaga, QC
Madam Chair, as I mentioned earlier, the members of the committee can't do their jobs properly if they don't have the motions in both official languages. If we can't read the motions and put forward amendments in an informed way, in order to do our jobs as parliamentarians, I move that debate be suspended.

Madam Chair, I have a point of order. I put forward my motion to vote on my motion prior to Madame Martinez Ferrada's motion.
Liberal
Geoff Regan Liberal Halifax West, NS
I have a point of order. There is no such motion; there's no such thing as moving to vote now.

The Chair Liberal Salma Zahid
Let me clarify this with the clerk.
Ms. Dancho, we cannot move the motion to vote because there are members on the speaking list.
Yes, Mr. Dhaliwal.

Madam Chair, we have the motion on the floor to adjourn the debate, and it is not debatable, so let us vote on this immediately.

I believe a French version is being distributed. I think the clerks are about to send it out formally. Can someone confirm that?
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Salma Zahid
Clerk, can I check with you on whether or not you received a copy of the motion in English and French?
The Clerk
I'm just checking now. One moment, please.
In the last minutes, we have not received an email from Ms. Dancho's office.
Conservative
Raquel Dancho Conservative Kildonan—St. Paul, MB
I apologize, Mr. Clerk, but I'm looking right now at the email we sent you. It was a number of minutes ago. Would you mind checking again?
