I have a couple of things to say, colleagues.
The first is that the witnesses were, my gut tells me, about to embark on a few minutes' worth of discussions. Given that there was only five minutes of questioning left, it would probably be fair to the time they have left in their day to do productive things—no pun intended—to let them go now.
I want to thank you very much, Mr. Meier and Ms. Knowles, for appearing before us today. We appreciate your testimony and wish you a good rest of your day.
Colleagues, there's been a little confusion about where we go at this point, so I just want to clarify that.
Ms. Dancho, just so that I'm clear, is this the auto sector motion you're referring to? Okay.
We had a motion put forward related to the auto sector. An amendment by Monsieur Ste-Marie altering the original motion was adopted. Then there was an amendment proposed by Mr. Noormohamed, who was subbing in at the committee at that point.
We will now resume the motion and the proposed amendment put forward by Mr. Noormohamed. In other words, we will begin debate on this motion, but it is not on the original motion as amended by the Bloc. We are now on the amendment put forward by Mr. Noormohamed.
I just want to verify with the clerk that we have the language of it. I can't remember if it was circulated or not. The amendment wasn't.
Okay, colleagues, here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to suspend briefly in a moment because we need to work off that language. It happened really quickly at the end...and if it hasn't been distributed yet, that's important for us, because I don't know the specific language we're working from. You have to give me a moment on that.
Madam Dancho has not ceded the floor. I'm seeing hands go up. Are these points of order or are they simply to get onto the speaking list? Okay. I have Mr. Bardeesy followed by Madam O'Rourke, and Madam Dancho will have the floor once we come back from the suspension.
