We don't have the motion in front of us and I just want to make it clear, for the record. We don't have the motion in front of us and it's not in both official languages—

5:25 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Dan Ruimy

That's not what we were just talking about. He read it into the record, and it will get translated and what have you.

I'm talking about Wednesday's meeting.

5:25 p.m.

NDP

Brian Masse NDP Windsor West, ON

Okay, I thought his motion was for Wednesday's meeting too. Sorry, I apologize.

5:25 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Dan Ruimy

No. Wednesday's meeting is during the St. Louis apology. We are not cancelling our committee.

Michael.

Michael Chong

Mr. Chair, through you, maybe we could be informed by Mr. de Burgh Graham when he intends to move his motion?

November 5th, 2018 / 5:25 p.m.

Laurentides—Labelle, Lib.

David de Burgh Graham

At the next non-interrupting opportunity, I'll put it that way. I don't know. I don't think it will take very long.

Michael, let's try this.

Do we have unanimous consent right now to invite him for one hour at the earliest opportunity?

5:25 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Dan Ruimy

Seeing as how I'm the chair....

Thank you. If we have unanimous support, we could extend an invitation to the chief statistician to appear in the second hour on Wednesday.

5:25 p.m.

Laurentides—Labelle, Lib.

David de Burgh Graham

It would be for one hour, televised.

5:25 p.m.

Some hon. members

Agreed.

5:25 p.m.

Laurentides—Labelle, Lib.

David de Burgh Graham

My motion is now moved, so thank you.

5:25 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Dan Ruimy

No, your motion's not moved.

What we'll do is, on Wednesday, again, because we have the apology, we will not be interrupted. We'll have an hour with our first witnesses, and I will be keeping special time to make sure that we don't fall behind, because I think we all want a full hour with the chief statistician. If there's a desire to extend it, I understand that we will need to get out of here at 5:30 p.m. because there will be another meeting being set up. We'll have to keep it tight.

All right, I'm glad to see we're all cordial and working together.

Thank you. We're adjourned.
