That's the motion. He's seeking unanimous consent for that motion. Does he have unanimous consent, or do we want to deal with it in a different way?
I'm going to make a few comments here for everybody to be on the same page. We've received a letter from the finance committee, and I've asked a clerk to distribute that letter to all members. The motion adopted by the finance committee referred specific sections that relate to human resources to us and asked this committee if it wishes to make any recommendations or any suggested amendments to those portions of the sections for their consideration. They'll actually be doing the clause-by-clause consideration.
Time is also of the essence, because we're on break week and when we get back it's a Monday and our next scheduled meeting is Tuesday. They want it reported back to them by five o'clock, I think you said in your motion, on Tuesday. It would have to be in both official languages, so time is a bit of a constraint.
We had also previously moved a motion not to sit on Thursday of next week. I would envision that we would likely call some departmental witnesses to give us some background on the clauses. We have that Thursday that we decided we weren't going to sit; if we decided we wanted to sit on that day, we should probably move on that, which may mean some amendments, or you can defeat the motion and put a new motion in. We may want to deal with it at a specific time in a specific way, so that we're in a position to report back.
Those are all the general comments I have. Your motion is on the floor. Is there any debate?
Go ahead, Ms. Leitch.
