In response to what you said, Mr. Chairman, without taking the time of any member, I brought lawyers from my office here this evening so that they can speak to members of this committee immediately after the meeting and perhaps take instruction. I understand that in many cases amendments may be needed tomorrow, as Wednesday you start clause-by-clause study of the bill and of clause 2, which is the Conflict of Interest Act. I asked my lawyers to be here this evening; they will get on to drafting tomorrow, and we're very confident we can make available to all members the motions they may want or need to have filed with the clerk tomorrow.
