Okay, that's a friendly amendment. Well, I don't know if it's a friendly amendment, because it would have to be agreed to by everyone here.

You're making it part of your motion, Monsieur Ménard, is that right?

All right.
I'm advised we should be debating the amendment.
Is there any further discussion on the amendment?
Mr. Murphy, could you just clarify again exactly what the amendment is?

The motion would read the same, except you'd take out “26”, and the word “and” would go between “5” and “12”.

If I can make just a small suggestion, given the fact that there may be some conflicts that various members of the committee may have, it may be helpful to reword the motion to provide the clerk and me an opportunity to check, in terms of the next, say, three or four Tuesdays and Thursdays that might be available, to find out exactly what times are available. It may turn out that May 5 and 12 may not work for everybody, but May 5 and May 26 may be available. If you want to leave it to our discretion, that would change the motion somewhat.
Monsieur Ménard.

I will tell you what is important to me, and I think that this is also Mr. Murphy's objective. The committee could hold two meetings before the end of May. It would be up to the chair to convene them, according to what you want.
What I want to be certain about is that we write a report and that we have these two meetings before the end of May. If Mr. Murphy is comfortable with that idea, we could tell the chair to convene the two meetings.

The Chair Conservative Ed Fast
All right.
Is there any further debate on the amendment, which is to basically set the end of May as the time in which these two meetings will be held. Is that correct?
Seeing none, I'll call the vote on the amendment.

Congratulations, Monsieur Ménard.
With that, we're at the end of our agenda.
We'll adjourn.
