Order, please.
Today is Thursday, April 30, 2015. Welcome to the 67th meeting of the Subcommittee on International Human Rights of the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development. Today's meeting is televised.
Colleagues, we have a problem. As you're all aware, we have three witnesses today, two of whom are in the room with us at the moment. However, we anticipate that the bells will start to ring in about five minutes for a vote. Under our rules, committees like this one automatically suspend as soon as the bells start. Realistically, by the time we get back from the bells there will be just a couple of minutes left before question period.
I want to ask if there's unanimous consent to do the following: Once the bells start ringing, the clerk and I will keep an eye on the clock. We'll suspend once we are at five minutes before the time of the vote, after about 25 minutes. As a practical matter there will be time only for testimony, not for questions and answers.
I suggest we agree to that.
