Well, we are, and once we vote on it, I think we're committed to it, right?

I would rather we deal with this now. I think we have discussed this matter long enough. I do not think it commits us to any great extent, but we'll see as time goes by.
For 10 years, my brother promised his ex-wife that he would marry her. It took him 10 years, but he finally took the plunge.

I'm not sure of that comment. It's probably not on topic, but it's very interesting.

Seeing nobody else wanting to speak on the motion, can we go to the amendment? It's a little awkward to pick out the amendment from the motion. You all know what it is. The vote would be on the amendment, so let's go to the question, then.
(Amendment agreed to [See Minutes of Proceedings])
Now we'll go to the motion as amended.
Before that, there's a point of order.

Mr. Chair, I'd like to move a motion to table this motion until a later session.

The Chair Conservative Leon Benoit
You've heard a motion to table. There's no debate on a motion to table. To the question, those in favour of the motion to table?
Oh, actually, it's to adjourn debate.

Some hon. members

Okay. A clear show of hands: those in favour of adjourning debate?

We'll bring this back, Nathan.

But I don't understand this process. I want to be clear. We just voted to have this. We said this would be part of our larger.... I want to understand what Mr. Trost proposed. It's a proposal to...?

We voted on the amendment. Then, as I was going to the vote on the motion as amended, there was a tabling motion, which is non-debatable, so that's why I was going to the vote.
I saw hands going up and down over there.

I saw Madam Brunelle's hand go up and down, so I just want to understand what we're--

Conservative
The Chair Conservative Leon Benoit
So that's what it is. We'll table this to some future date. I'm not sure.... It is a motion to adjourn debate, so that would normally come up at the next meeting.
We're going to go back to the motion to adjourn debate.
(Motion agreed to)
The bells are going. Seeing no further business before this committee today, I adjourn the meeting.
