Madam Chair, I have a point of order. Normally we meet from 3:30 to 5:30. In light of the time, in light of the fact that it's taking a long time to get through these amendments, and I suspect it will continue, I make a motion that we adjourn the meeting at this point.

That's why I'm moving a motion.
Normally we meet from 3:30 to 5:30. We're heading into Christmas season. At the rate we're going, we're not going to pass Bill C-40 tonight, no matter what. There are just too many clauses to go through.
We're scheduled to meet in the new year on January 29 or 30. I would suggest that we adjourn now and everyone have a merry Christmas. Then we'll get back to work when the House reconvenes.
I move that we adjourn.
