Thank you, Chair.
I just want to clarify again in the blues. When we were talking about whether it was a suspension or an adjournment, I had the floor on the motion. I said, “I did not move a motion. I'm agreeing with him [Mr. Julian] to get to Bill C-26 for the remainder of our meeting today and I'll pick this up at the next meeting.” That's what I said. Then the chair said, “Is it the agreement of the committee?” Then the motion was agreed to.
As I understand the rules, that motion, the conversation about that motion and the debate on that motion were suspended from the last meeting, and we went on to the witnesses.
Now, today, in order to wrap up that motion, I have a couple of comments I wish to make that should take no longer than 15 minutes or so. Then we have other speakers on that list. If they wish to continue to speak, then that's certainly their choice. As I understand the situation from the last meeting, we were into a suspension on the motion, and because of Mr. Julian's intervention, I agreed to let those witnesses at that time.... I gave up the floor on a suspension to deal with that.
Thank you, Chair.
