In every other committee that I'm on, that is what we're told by the chair. We get two hours of committee time. I have not heard from any other committee a hard and fast rule.
Maybe, for the next meeting, Chair, you could clarify that for us so that we know moving forward.

I have asked the clerk to comment on this. I believe she will come back with the right answer.
Mr. Ehsassi, go ahead.

No one is suggesting that Mr. Lake should be denied the opportunity to meet with 20 of his constituents. We would like him to do so. It's just that, if this is going to happen, we can have substitutes, as we do on any other occasion.
Thank you.

On that note, we don't know when we're going to have votes. I didn't know that we had two votes until we were already having the votes. I couldn't have arranged for a sub because I didn't know that we were having two votes today. That happens in the House of Commons more often than not right now, in a minority Parliament.
I move that we adjourn.

Agreed.
