I think your office has already declined. You aren't on my list.

I don't know whether we'll start debate on Mr. McCallum's motion right away. We may not have time because I have a meeting that starts at 1:00 p.m.
I also have an availability problem for the meeting on December 8.
However, my question was about a completely different matter. Are we going to try to schedule another visit to Bombardier before the holidays?
I know we have no control over the weather or the roads. Until I got the call from Ms. Pelletier, I drove from home and the roads were in very poor shape. I understand that no aircraft could land at Rivière-du-Loup airport. I know the Bombardier people were disappointed, but we can't control winter or the weather.
Do we plan to go there before the holidays?

The Chair Conservative Merv Tweed
We have been in contact with Bombardier, and it is putting forward some dates when it could be available. Based on what I've heard so far, I think to do it before the new year is going to be very challenging. But we are waiting to hear back from Bombardier.
Mr. Jean.

I'd just like to say, Mr. Chair, based upon our success rate in the past to visit Bombardier, maybe it would be simpler to bring the plant site to us.

In light of the time, could we have the notice of motion formally adopted by the committee before we adjourn today, so that we can address the matter at a future meeting?

I don't think there's any need at all to deal with that. It's a 48-hour notice on any motion; we've received 48 hours' notice and it's on the agenda, as far as I'm concerned. Is that not the case?
12:55 p.m.

The Chair Conservative Merv Tweed
We have another committee coming in, so we will defer this motion until the beginning of the next meeting. We will advise our guests to allow some time.
If I may, I might ask to have it near the end again, because I do not like bringing guests in and not having them be heard. I'll allow more time, if that's--
1 p.m.

Gerry Byrne Liberal Humber—St. Barbe—Baie Verte, NL
Mr. Chair, I understand that in terms of a procedural point of view, the mover of a motion can call the motion at any point in time. Is that correct?
