Yes, Mr. Chair, very briefly. I do understand that under the rules and procedures there's nothing that states the meeting automatically adjourns at 5:30 p.m., and it actually takes a motion to do so.
But I believe all members will recognize that the tradition has been that meetings are scheduled in the afternoon from 3:30 to 5:30, and that when there has been a necessity to extend, it has been decided by the committee beforehand, so no one's taken by surprise coming in the morning and seeing that there's a notice on their... I mean, I didn't even look at it. It's only now that I suddenly realize that right at the bottom of the page it says 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. I looked at the top of the page and finished at Madam Joncas, not realizing that there was someone else behind her.
Anyway, I would just suggest that in future there be a go-round to all of the members when the chair believes it's necessary to go beyond 5:30 p.m., if it hasn't been decided at a committee meeting, to see if everyone's okay with that. That's all I'm suggesting. I don't see any reason for anyone's back to get up. I'm suggesting that in the future it would definitely make relations in the committee a lot more conciliatory. It's a suggestion.
