I don't understand. If that's the direction you want to go, to include it as part of the NATO study, I don't understand why you even need the motion then. Isn't it just about calling the witnesses you want? Again, that's a discussion that should be happening within the steering committee.
If you think it's germane to the actual study we're doing, then put forward witnesses to that effect. The steering committee should decide on how that's going to play out.
If it's part of it, it's part of it. You don't need to have a motion to that effect.

I tend to agree with my colleague. I would encourage Mr. Bezan to withdraw the motion. I am inclined to vote against it as it stands.

I'm going to move that we refer this motion to the steering committee.

Darren, as we say in the air force, “hot mike”.
Go ahead, Mr. Garrison.

Can I suggest that on adjournment today, maybe the members of the steering committee could stay and talk about times when they're generally available so that we can try to advance this matter?
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Stephen Fuhr
Fair enough.
Unless there is other business, I'd like to adjourn. Those on the steering committee will stay back and we'll talk about when we can get together to refine our focus.
The meeting is adjourned.
