Monsieur Fortin, my apologies, sir. I don't think you're wearing a headset and I'm having difficulty with the interpretation.

I am sorry, I don't understand French.

Bloc

Rhéal Fortin Bloc Rivière-du-Nord, QC

No need to be sorry. I'm the one who is sorry.

Can you hear me?

1:15 p.m.

The Chair Liberal Iqra Khalid

Yes.

That's good.

I wasn't wearing my headset. You were right. It was my mistake and I apologize.

I see that some kind of race is going on and that several committee members are trying to be first to ask that we discuss a motion. So I have just made that request. I wanted to make sure that you would take note of it and that, at the earliest opportunity—today's meeting is over, since it is already 1:16 p.m.—which would be next Thursday, we would start by discussing the motion of which I gave you notice on November 3.

Can we agree on that or would you like me to proceed differently?

1:15 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Iqra Khalid

Monsieur Fortin, my apologies. The question I had asked the committee members before you started speaking was specifically about seeking the committee's consent to invite the two ministers who are responsible for Bill C-6 for the second—

There's no consent.

There's no consent. Okay.

Mr. Virani, I have you next on the speakers list on this.

Madam Chair, given the time and the patience we have all observed through four meetings of clause-by-clause, I would move that the committee now adjourn.

1:15 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Iqra Khalid

We will call the question.

(Motion agreed to: yeas 11; nays 0)

Thank you very much, Mr. Clerk.

Now that I have my gavel back, the meeting is adjourned.
