—and we could establish a consensus, rather than the formalities of an amendment.

So simply, it's that the committee confirm, publish and advertise its travel to Iqaluit as soon as possible; and, when the committee holds its hearings in Iqaluit, full Inuktitut translation services be made available to the public.

So we'll meet again at 8:30 tomorrow morning. We'll discuss business as agreed. It's a subcommittee meeting, not a full committee meeting.

Can we have a motion to adjourn till...?

We will let you know about that.

I don't think we need a motion to that effect.

The meeting is adjourned.
