I will call the committee back to order. When we left, there was a point of order by Mr. Nerysoo that once begun a debate on a motion, the motion could not be withdrawn. Mr. Zoe had a motion which had progressed into debate. Mr. Zoe moved to withdraw the motion and alter it. Mr. Nerysoo raised the point of order. I conferred with the Clerk on the matter and the ruling of the chair is that Mr. Nerysoo does have a point of order. The motion cannot be withdrawn arbitrarily, however, it can be withdrawn if the mover of the motion seeks unanimous consent of the committee to withdraw the motion. I think that is where it stands. So I rule that Mr. Nerysoo does have a point of order. Mr. Zoe, in order to withdraw your motion at this point in the debate, you have to seek unanimous consent of the committee to withdraw the motion. The honourable Member for North Slave, Mr. Zoe.
