NDP

Peter Julian NDP New Westminster—Burnaby, BC

Yes, they were prepared to stay for two. I communicated that to all members of this committee—

9:45 a.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry

Yes, you did.

9:45 a.m.

NDP

Peter Julian NDP New Westminster—Burnaby, BC

—and so did Mr. Champoux. No member of the committee can say, “We didn't know they were prepared to stay for two hours.” Every member of the committee did.

9:45 a.m.

Conservative

Kevin Waugh Conservative Saskatoon—Grasswood, SK

That's false.

Madam Chair, I have a point of order.

I did not know they were prepared to stay for two hours. I'm sitting here. I have no recollection that the CRTC told me they would like to be here for two hours. Those statements are false. I did not know that. It clearly states “one hour”. I wasn't told they wanted to stay for two hours. That statement is false, and I would like it withdrawn.

9:45 a.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry

Go ahead, Mr. Julian.

9:45 a.m.

Peter Julian NDP New Westminster—Burnaby, BC

This is ridiculous, Madam Chair.

I move that we adjourn.

I have a point of order, Madam Chair.

It's to vote to adjourn the meeting.

Is there anyone objecting to that?

9:45 a.m.

You go to a vote.

9:45 a.m.

The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry

I beg your pardon.

9:45 a.m.

Rachael Thomas Conservative Lethbridge, AB

There's no discussion. You go directly to a vote.

9:45 a.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry

You go to a vote. I'm asking whether anyone is objecting. Then I will go to a vote that will be counted by the clerk. That's how it works. I don't just assume that.

Thank you.

Is anyone objecting?

9:45 a.m.

Marilyn Gladu Conservative Sarnia—Lambton, ON

I don't want to adjourn. I object.

9:45 a.m.

I'm sorry. I didn't hear you. I didn't have my earpiece in.

9:45 a.m.

Conservative

I said that I don't want to adjourn. I object.

9:45 a.m.
