It is carried.
Shall I report the bill as amended to the House?

The Chair Conservative Blaine Calkins
We will have a recorded vote.
(Bill C-18 as amended reported to the House [See Minutes of Proceedings])
That vote carries.
Before I call the last question, which is the question on whether we should reprint or not, I first of all want to thank all of the witnesses who appeared before this committee.
I also want to thank our current support here tonight, Mr. Meredith, Mr. Martin, and Mr. Rempel, for their insight.
I would like to thank our clerks, who did an excellent job under the circumstances.
Mr. Lafleur and Mr. Novoa, thank you for your excellent representations in helping me in my first attempt to chair a committee.
I would also like to thank our legislative clerks, Ms. Garbig and Mr. Cole, for their assistance here this evening.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank our analysts from the Library of Parliament, Mr. Fréchette and Ms. Courtney.
Colleagues, today is Ms. Courtney's birthday, so congratulations are in order there.
I would also like to thank all of you as colleagues. This particular piece of legislation is very much a contentious issue that reaches deep into the hearts of the members around this committee table and of the members of Parliament who are seized with this very, very difficult issue.
I would like to personally thank each of you for the decorum you've shown and the respect you've shown me as chair. I've done the best I can within the confines of the rules that were provided to me as a chairman, and I certainly was honoured to have this opportunity to do so.
Moving on to the last, Mr. Valeriote.

Mr. Chair, I know that on my own behalf—I can't speak for everyone—I would like to thank you for your sense of decorum, your composure, and your even-handedness in permitting all of us the opportunity to speak as we so desired and giving us the flexibility we sought. We very much appreciate the work you've done.

The Chair Conservative Blaine Calkins
Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Valeriote.
There's a last clause that needs to be dealt with before we are done with this: shall the committee order a reprint of the bill?
