Before we go to the amendment, Mr. Chair, can I ask the mover a question?

The Chair Conservative Jason Kenney
Why don't we get the amendment on the floor, and then you can debate it?

Mr. Chairman, I'd like to call the question. I think that after months and months, these are becoming now dilatory. Mr. Sorenson has had meeting after meeting and presented motion after motion on procedural grounds. We have the amendment. It's been voted on. It's accepted. I accepted it, even when I thought it was only a friendly amendment and that we could vote on it. I'd like to move now and go to the main motion.

He's going to a motion without a debate. She says she wants to have more debate, and I agree with here. At least we can listen.

In any event, the question has been called. It's nearly two o'clock.

The Chair Conservative Jason Kenney
We've had 45 minutes of debate on the motion, which is more than we've ever had on a motion in this committee. Mr. Cotler has called the question.
(Motion as amended agreed to)
