Industry committee  Mr. McTeague moved—

Industry committee  Mr. Chair, this is not like in the House, where there are many written rules and provisions about when the House shall adjourn at a certain time. As you well know, a committee chair technically cannot adjourn on his own, on his own. It takes the agreement of the committee to adjourn.

Industry committee  Yes, and Mr. Black mentioned that he's going to get us an existing French one that he submitted to the client.

Industry committee  My understanding was that there was ten minutes for the organization.

Industry committee  Well, on the committees I've been at, it never has come up, but it has been done in other committees.

Industry committee  Mr. Chair, through you to the committee again, what I mentioned was that generally when you're adopting the motions regarding the reports, provisions are made for this before the final report is adopted. But it's not out of order, if the committee wishes to do so.

Industry committee  Mr. Chair, through you to the committee, it is perfectly within the power of the committee, if it wishes, to allow a dissenting or a supplementary opinion to be appended after the chair's signature after the report. Generally provisions are made as to the length that will be allowed.

Industry committee  Mr. Chair, through you to the committee, all I'm saying is that committees generally try to decide how long a dissenting opinion will be, especially if the report is very small.

Industry committee  Mr. Crête moves that the debate on the amendment to the motion be adjourned until Thursday, October 26, and that this be the first item of business on that day.

Industry committee  That will not be the case if the committee has not decided so. There's no Order Paper for committees.

Industry committee  So the amendment would read, Monsieur Lapierre, that the motion be amended by adding after the word “deregulation” the following, which are the words--

Industry committee  Right, “no later than March 1, 2007”. Shall I read the entire motion as it would read? Do you all have it in front of you?

Industry committee  Honourable members of the committee, I see a quorum. Pursuant to Standing Order 106(2), your first order of business is to elect a chair. I'm ready to receive motions to that effect. Yes, Mr. Carrie.

Industry committee  I take it that's not another motion. The committee has heard the terms of the motion. Is it the pleasure of the committee to adopt the motion? (Motion agreed to)

Industry committee  Mr. Carrie has moved that Mr. Rajotte be the chair of the committee. Are there any other motions?
