Mr. Chair, it is common practice for this committee to deal with motions at the end; there's no reason why we can't finish our work with the witnesses earlier to deal with the motion. I can't imagine that we're not ever again going to leave any time for motions. That would be a rather horrible precedent. Given the fact there probably isn't going to be a consensus, probably the best way to deal with it is to bring the matter to a vote.
