I thought so.
Is there any discussion on that amendment?

Very quickly, if out of that day it turns out that we need more, that can certainly be one of our recommendations, that the committee look at that particular issue, or that the committee ask whatever the other committee is to do it. There are committees looking now at cybersecurity. The public safety committee is looking at the national security framework. Maybe it's something that we recommend someone else take on as well. I think it would give us the overview. If it turns out that it's much bigger, we can recommend that it be studied further in depth.

On the amendment, then, the amendment is to add one session to talk about algorithms.
(Amendment agreed to)
We'll go back to the motion. This means the motion is amended to be just the one extra session to study algorithms as part of this existing study on violence against women.
(Motion as amended agreed to [See Minutes of Proceedings])

Madam Chair, in terms of identifying the witnesses to come to this one extra session, I think Ms. Harder has a head start. Is the steering committee going to be getting together before that meeting?

My suggestion is that if there are witnesses you want to call, you submit their names to the clerk. The clerk, seeing those, perhaps will schedule a session with the subcommittee. We could look at the witness list briefly.

I just connected with my friend who works for DND and is an IT specialist to ask who we would go to for algorithms, so I will give you whatever I can find out.

Forward that to the clerk, if you will, and then the subcommittee....
Can you send those ideas for the witnesses for algorithms to the clerk by Friday?
5:40 p.m.
Some hon. members
Yes.

That's excellent.
I have a reminder for you that the subcommittee report we approved today says that you're going to think about witnesses for the economic study and also send those in, and there's a timeline. You can look to that.

That one's not for Friday. That one's for the 21st.
Have a wonderful night. Thanks for staying late.
The meeting is adjourned.
