International Trade Committee on June 7th, 2006

[The Chair, Conservative, Leon Benoit]

Thank you, Ms. Guergis.

Seeing no other comments, now to the question on Mr. Paquette's motion.

(Motion as amended agreed to [See Minutes of Proceedings])

[The Chair, Conservative, Leon Benoit]

Mr. Paquette.

[Pierre Paquette, Bloc, Joliette, QC]

Mr. Chairman, as the bells are ringing, I shall ask you to defer my second motion to the beginning of our next meeting which is next Monday unless everybody is ready to vote immediately.

[The Chair, Conservative, Leon Benoit]

We can probably deal with it now.

[Ted Menzies, Conservative, Macleod, AB]

It is inappropriate to be voting after the bells have begun.

[Pierre Paquette, Bloc, Joliette, QC]

Is it a new rule, Mr. Clerk?

[The Chair, Conservative, Leon Benoit]

You feel very pressured to run, do you, right this minute?

[Some hon. members]

Oh, oh!

[The Chair, Conservative, Leon Benoit]

Just a minute, the meeting has not been adjourned.

[Pierre Paquette, Bloc, Joliette, QC]

Mr. Chairman, I want it to be clear that it will be the first issue on our agenda next Monday.

[The Chair, Conservative, Leon Benoit]

Mr. Paquette, we will deal with it at the next meeting.

The meeting is adjourned.
