Mr. Chair, ordinarily I am in favour of public meetings, like this one today. However, when the discussion drags on, I actually prefer that the meeting be held in camera.
I would also like to ask a question about procedure. I would like to know whether it has been 48 hours since Mr. Hawn submitted his motion. To my knowledge, the motion was submitted after the meeting on Tuesday afternoon.
Did you receive it before the committee meeting on Tuesday?
