My ruling stands. Thank you very much.
I'm prepared to vote on the first motion. All in favour of the motion as read, please raise your hand? And contrary minded?
The vote is tied, so I will cast a vote in favour of that motion.
(Motion agreed to)
To conclude, Mrs. Faille, you do have a number of options available to you in other committees and other venues in Parliament on that issue, which I know you have put a lot of work into and spent a lot of time on. It is an important issue, I agree with you; but for the reasons I explained, I don't see it being relevant to the issue.
I have another announcement to make and then I'm going to turn it over to Mrs. Faille.
In September of each year, the committees purge their memberships and have to elect or re-elect their chairs. It's somewhat arcane in my view, but because of that the committee is functus as of a certain time this evening. As a result, there will not be a steering committee meeting tomorrow at 12 o'clock, and there will not be a meeting on Wednesday on 3:30.
The next scheduled meeting will be Monday at 3:30. Is that right, Madam Clerk?
