Okay, but the first thing is that you can't move a motion on a point of order, Mr. Perkins.

I'll withdraw the point of order and move the motion.

I move the motion that we call the deputy minister, the assistant deputy minister responsible for SDTC and the CFO of the industry department to answer and respond to the sixth report of the Auditor General on Sustainable Development Technology Canada.

Members have heard the terms of the motion.
It's from the floor, so it's not translated in both official languages, but I'm looking around the room to see if there are any comments on this or objections.

We're running towards the end of our meeting, so I don't know, colleagues, if you want to debate this as the very first item next Monday. It will give members time to think about it and see it in both official languages.
Is that the will of the committee?

When a member has asked to have it in writing in both official languages, I think it's the usual practice that we provide members with that.
If the committee wants to extend until later so that we get that.... I don't see much enthusiasm around the room for that proposition.

The Chair Liberal Joël Lightbound
Reading the room, I think it can be discussed on Monday. It can be sent in writing in both official languages.
Mr. Perkins, you're good with that.
Thank you to our witnesses for being here tonight.
Our apologies to Ms. Bhullar for the problems of communicating with you and for what was, in hindsight, a surely unwarranted and certainly premature summons.
Colleagues, as you know, this is my last meeting in person with you until the fall. To say that I will miss you would be a vast overstatement.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Joël Lightbound
At the same time, I'll leave you in the good care of Mr. Perkins, who will be chairing for the next two weeks.
Thank you, Mr. Perkins, for chairing on my behalf for the next two weeks. I will be watching closely.
The meeting is adjourned.
