Well, I'm always thinking of various options.

You have a point of order?

We have to vote on the amendment, which is to take $2.2 million out of the $2.89 million. We've had a very active discussion.

(Vote 1b agreed to)

We then go on to vote 5b, which is over $15 million. You've seen it in the papers.

All those in favour of vote 5b, please indicate with a show of hands.

Vote 5b—The grants listed in the Estimates and contributions..........$15,855,400

(Vote 5b agreed to)

Thank you. It's unanimous, so I don't have to ask for those opposed. I will put it on the record as unopposed.

Shall I report these supplementary estimates to the House?

Some hon. members

Agreed.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Greg Kerr

We'll then follow procedure.

Now I'm going to go to my professional assistant and ask whether I left anything out. I want to make sure I get it in legally.

On Monday we are going to go back to hopefully finishing up the final draft or the final copy of the report. Once that's done, certainly unless anybody has other business, we will see you in February. Think about that for Monday.

If everybody is satisfied and there is nothing further for the committee, thank you, we're done.
