Iqra Khalid Liberal Mississauga—Erin Mills, ON

Chair, thank you very much.

I think this whole exercise has been to really shed light on the issue at hand, and we take this very seriously.

Our original motion talked about meeting after Ms. Wilson-Raybould's testimony to discuss next steps. I think it's more appropriate that we talk about this as part of our next-steps conversation so that we know we're not badgering or trying to elicit information that may or may not be there. I think we should have that meeting as committee members first before we go there.

I think that, at this time, it's appropriate that we vote down this motion and revisit the idea at our next-steps meeting.

Is there anybody who really wishes to speak to this? Not hearing anyone, we'll move to the vote.

(Motion negatived: nays 5; yeas 4)

Colleagues, there's one thing that I would suggest. We have not yet sent out the notice of motion for tomorrow's meeting. I think it will be difficult to digest all of Ms. Wilson-Raybould's testimony for 8:45 tomorrow morning and come back to consider next steps. May I consult with the vice-chairs and come back with a time for the meeting that's perhaps a little later in the day?

I think that's a great idea.
