The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry
Thank you.
Has the clerk had that clarity put in, and can we now read the new subamendment?
I will just let everyone know that we are coming close to having to adjourn this meeting. We have three minutes left.
6:45 p.m.
Legislative Clerk
Before I read the subamendment, I just want to let you know that the other legislative clerk may want to have clarification on something. If you could recognize him sometime before the end of the meeting, that would be appreciated.
6:45 p.m.
Legislative Clerk
Meanwhile, I will read out the new subamendment moved by Mr. Perkins.
6:45 p.m.
Legislative Clerk
It would read, “That the deadline for amendments be three days prior to clause-by-clause and until we have the opportunity to hear from the Minister of Canadian Heritage and department officials from Canadian Heritage”.
6:45 p.m.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry
All right. That's “and department officials”. Okay, good.
Now I think that subamendment is in order.
Mr. Housefather, do you think it's clear enough for you?

Thanks for asking, Madam Chair.
I don't understand the word “until”. I would think it would be “after”, but I'd leave that to you. Again, I don't have it in writing.
6:45 p.m.

The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry
Well, maybe the clerk can send it to us in writing, please.
I'll suspend until that happens.
6:45 p.m.
Philippe Méla Legislative Clerk
Thank you, Madam Chair.
I have a question for Mr. Julian.
I heard that Mr. Bittle and Mr. Champoux will have their amendments ready to submit to the clerk of the committee tomorrow, but I think I heard Mr. Julian say that he would send his amendments to the law clerk's office.
Am I mistaken or will they be ready and be sent to the clerk of the committee rather than to the drafter?

Peter Julian NDP New Westminster—Burnaby, BC
You misunderstood me. I said that we would send this to the clerk of the committee by 4 p.m. tomorrow.
6:50 p.m.
Legislative Clerk
Perfect.
Madam Chair, if I may, I would like to ask you another question. Tomorrow, will I have to distribute the amendments I will have received?
Sorry, I was asking in French.
6:50 p.m.
Legislative Clerk
The question was whether tomorrow I should distribute to the members the amendments that I will have received.
6:50 p.m.
Liberal
The Chair Liberal Hedy Fry
If you're getting them at 4 p.m. tomorrow, Mr. Méla, will you be able to distribute them or would you wait until Monday? I don't know. That's up to you. Only you know what your time allows you to do with regard to any kind of translation or anything else that is needed.
6:50 p.m.
Legislative Clerk
Okay. I'll see what I can do, and I'll send them as soon as I can.
