Mark Gerretsen Liberal Kingston and the Islands, ON

Mr. Chair, it's important that whenever we set to undertake another study, we do it in the context of realizing what the competing interests are. I know in the past we've made a concerted effort to line up exactly how we're going to do what.

It would probably be more appropriate to discuss this at the pre-committee, to try to sort out where that would be. I am not in favour of voting on this right now, because I want to understand its context in terms of where it lies with everything else. Therefore, I move adjournment on this debate.

Randy Hoback Conservative Prince Albert, SK

Are you serious, Mark?

The Chair Liberal Stephen Fuhr

It's dilatory. All in favour of adjourning debate on this issue?

(Motion agreed to)

Randy Hoback Conservative Prince Albert, SK

Why would you do that?

The Chair Liberal Stephen Fuhr

That's our democracy in action, folks.

James Bezan Conservative Selkirk—Interlake—Eastman, MB

Can we get a recorded vote on that, please?

The Chair Liberal Stephen Fuhr

It's done. I'm sorry. You should have asked for it before.

Thank you very much. Can I get a motion to adjourn?

Nice to see you, folks.
