The chair certainly isn't going to, and shouldn't, comment on the direction on this, but there appears to be a consensus that there is nothing definitive, because each issue in Parliament takes on a life of its own. In this particular case, a committee would be entrusted with putting the right level of responsibility on that, so that would fall back on the committee to work with at that point to hopefully either question or set its own standards, and it would be held accountable for that, at that particular point. The chair isn't going to belabour the issue any further.

Thank you very much. I appreciate the dialogue. It is helpful on issues like this. It is important to bring out information, to have further discussion, to bring it forward.

Now, with no more conversation, the chair will call for a vote.

Do we have another speaker?

I will be quick. Can we have a recorded vote on this motion? Thank you.

The Chair Conservative Daryl Kramp

Yes. That certainly is in order.

I instruct the clerk to ask for a recorded vote.

(Motion agreed to: yeas 6; nays 5)

I thank my colleagues for working through that issue and certainly giving us the latitude of time to be able to go to prospective business.

With that motion having passed, we would be delighted to welcome our analysts to the table at this time.

We will suspend for a couple of minutes and then deal with future business.
