Thank you very much.
Colleagues, the difficulty, of course, is that I was the one who moved the initial motion. That makes it incredibly difficult for that to continue.
We all know that the bells are ringing at the current time. To continue this committee, we would need unanimous consent to do so. My concern, of course, is if we do not do that it will effectively be the end of the meeting, given the amount of time to get to the chamber, vote and then come back.
I am at your service as the chair of the committee. Is that the will of the committee to continue?
Some hon. members: Yes.
The Vice-Chair (Mr. Stephen Ellis): Thank you, witnesses, for understanding that there is a bit of machinery in motion here. I appreciate that.
Just so that everyone is clear, the bells are ringing in the House so there will be a vote after that. I suspect that that will probably be the end of the meeting with respect to timing, but we'll see when that comes.
At this moment, then, Madam Brière—
