Hearing no dissent on this, I suppose that Madam Mathyssen's motion has passed. I heard no dissent.
Good. It will be tabled at the next meeting.
Motion to adjourn, please.

A point of order. On this side of the table anyway, we said that we would prefer to deal with that next week, because everyone has had enough today. We can do it on Tuesday, but you are not listening to what we are saying. I have always worked cooperatively with everyone, but, if that means things like this happen, it is just too bad. People need to be respected, after all. I am speaking!

Madame Boucher, I asked if anyone dissented, if there was unanimous agreement. I asked three times, and no one said anything.

Oh, I said something. Sorry about that. Please, everyone is tired this morning. I said that we could discuss it on Tuesday morning. We have always got along in this committee, but you were not listening to what I was saying.

No, I didn't, because there's a lot of talking that goes on with other behind people you, Madame Boucher. I don't know if you're addressing the chair or someone else. Please try to address the chair in future.

Thank you.
So now what do we do? Madame Boucher doesn't want to accept Madame Mathyssen's motion. There is no unanimous consent. We will discuss this on Tuesday at the in camera meeting.
Thank you.
The meeting is adjourned.
