Mr. Chair, on a point of order, Mr. Au clearly indicated to the clerk that he would like to speak, before Mr. Ramsay took the floor and before you gave it to him. I would like to ask for the unanimous consent of this committee to give Mr. Au a few moments to say the words he wished to say for his residents in British Columbia.

The Chair Liberal Jean-Yves Duclos

I hear you. This is a motion on which we need to move right now. I saw Mr. Ramsay first, and I didn't know that MP Au wanted to speak. I also added your name, MP Kirkland. That being said, we have a motion to adjourn the meeting, and we need to vote immediately to see whether that is the will of the committee.

Does the committee want to adjourn the meeting?
