Ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to call this meeting back to order. That looks like five minutes to me. I'm not sure if it was or not, but it's close enough: three minutes in Newfoundland and five minutes here in Ontario, so there you go.

Anyway, I'll call this meeting back to order. We're going to go to clause-by-clause. We've been joined by the counsel from the Department of Justice, Mr. Pruden. Are there any questions? There is actually only one clause.

Before we begin, do you have any questions for the staff from the justice department?

I see none, so let's begin.

Ladies and gentlemen, that is the end of today's meeting. I will just give you a reminder that the meeting on Wednesday is for the Subcommittee on Agenda and Procedure. Please look at the calendar from here to the end, sometime in June. It's about nine weeks with a one-week break. Have some ideas of what you want to study.

We will be getting Bill C-54 eventually. I'm not sure exactly when that's happening, but I'll certainly do my best to find out beforehand. Come prepared to talk about what we'd like to do. I'd like to have it organized for the next couple of months. That would be great.

Is there anything else?

Could I have a motion to adjourn?

4:35 p.m.

An hon. member

So moved.

4:35 p.m.

Conservative

The Chair Conservative Mike Wallace

That's carried. The meeting is adjourned.
