Marlene Jennings Liberal Notre-Dame-de-Grâce—Lachine, QC

I have just checked. We know that for three Liberal members of the committee, there will be no problem if we continue the clause-by-clause study of Bill C-23 tomorrow, from 4:30 to 5:30. If there is a problem for the fourth Liberal member of the committee, we will try to have a replacement. If the other committee members are in agreement, we can proceed as suggested.

4:30 p.m.

The Chair Liberal Bernard Patry

I just want to pinpoint that I'm not the chair for the other committee, and the clerk here is not the chair. We need to have the government side to work on that.

We'll work on that.
