Conservative

The Chair Conservative Garry Breitkreuz

Okay, let's do this properly. We have to take the amendment that Mr. Ménard has suggested, being “method of operation”. You're making that amendment.

It has to be someone other than you. Sorry, that's right. You can't amend.

Mark Holland Liberal Ajax—Pickering, ON

Mr. Chair, we're here past two o'clock as it is. We've already agreed to come back to this matter. I can agree to us coming back to this matter at the beginning of the December. We still have the rest of the clauses to deal with.

My suggestion is that we deal with this when we come back.

2 p.m.

Could we vote on this so we don't have to rehash the whole thing?

Mr. Chairman, I want to move a subamendment.

2 p.m.

If you're going to want to move a subamendment, we're going to have to leave it for now. We will continue this on December 3.

Does the committee agrees that we continue December 3?

Some hon. members

Agreed.

The Chair Conservative Garry Breitkreuz

Agreed.

The meeting is adjourned.
