I'll read the list of stood clauses. We have stood clauses 2, 3, 4, 4.1, 5, 5.1, 10, 10.1, 14, 15, 22, 24, and 34. So there's a fair list of stood clauses.
Mr. Jean.

Mr. Chair, there are a fair number of stood clauses. There are less than 20, but all of those stood clauses relate to something that was passed or not passed. I would suggest it will be fairly simple once we straighten out in our own minds where it is we're going to go.
Quite frankly, the only reason I would agree with Mr. Warawa, besides the fact that we're on the same side of the table, is that it's logical. This is an important piece of legislation. I think all of us need to go home, put our thinking caps on, and spend some time on it, either tonight or tomorrow morning, before we come back and do a final push.
This bill is very important to Canadians, and we want to make sure we get the best opportunity possible to make sure we don't have any screw-ups on it from a committee perspective, not necessarily a party perspective. Then, at that time, we can come back tomorrow.
I think we should actually meet either at 10 o'clock or 11 o'clock. I know we're scheduled for both 9 a.m. and 11 a.m., but just to have an opportunity to go through it, I would say we have probably two hours of work left. I would suggest that we want to make sure it's done properly and that we haven't missed anything.

Before I go to Mr. McGuinty, I will just point out that if we do come back and sit from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. tomorrow and we're not done, then we would be infringing on the environment committee from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., which we have already done once.
Mr. McGuinty.

I think we should meet at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, Mr. Chair. I think we're scheduled to meet from 9 a.m to 11 a.m., and then from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Is that right?

It's only a possibility? So could we technically go on until 2 o'clock tomorrow, in this room? That gives us a full five hours to complete our work. That would be my suggestion.

Particularly if we come ready with the changes we need to make, I think it can go. We're prepared to make it go quite quickly, come tomorrow morning.

Okay. Then this meeting is adjourned until 9 o'clock tomorrow morning.
