Foreign Affairs committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. The vote is on the motion of Mr. Genuis that the debate be now adjourned until such time as the committee has completed its other work. (Motion negatived: nays 6; yeas 4)

Foreign Affairs committee  I just wanted to tell you that Mr. Chong wished to speak.

Foreign Affairs committee  Yes, that's correct, Mr. Chair.

Foreign Affairs committee  Yes. You would have to ask Mr. Genuis whether his intention was to move another motion for debate.

Foreign Affairs committee  Not exactly, Mr. Chair. Once the committee has finished its consideration, the motion becomes debatable.

Foreign Affairs committee  Mr. Genuis has his hand up, Mr. Chair.

Foreign Affairs committee  It was Ms. McPherson.

Foreign Affairs committee  Mr. Chair, the motion cannot be debated. It must be put to a vote immediately.

Foreign Affairs committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. The motion is that you proceed to the scheduling of other witnesses for Ukraine. Dr. Fry.

Foreign Affairs committee  Yes, we can hear you.

Foreign Affairs committee  Yes, Mr. Chair. The written responses are all up on the website under “Related Information” under the study page. I'll send the links around.

Foreign Affairs committee  Mr. Chair, this is just to let you know that Madam Bendayan and Mr. Morantz in the room would like to speak.

Foreign Affairs committee  If members are in agreement to add these additional witnesses and are willing to let the analysts look at the work plan to see where they might slot them in, we can certainly do that.

Foreign Affairs committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. The department has confirmed that Minister Joly would be available for the first hour and Minister Sajjan for the second hour. I did put out the request as instructed by the committee, and that is what was given back to me.

Foreign Affairs committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. If the committee wishes, I can certainly go back to the department. Procedurally, there is nothing that the committee can do to compel a minister to appear. We are largely at the mercy of their schedule.
