Terry Duguid Liberal Winnipeg South, MB

Mr. Chair, this would probably take up our last four minutes, but could you reread this aloud? There's an old version and there's a new version, and I'm a little confused.

The Chair Liberal Francis Scarpaleggia

Sure. The old version—

Mr. Chair, if I could, I think it might be appropriate to see the clock at 5:30 and—

The Chair Liberal Francis Scarpaleggia

Before we do that, though, can I ask that we make sure that this new amendment NDP-37 has been distributed to everybody? That way, when we get to the next meeting....

Was the amendment distributed?

An hon. member

No.

The Chair Liberal Francis Scarpaleggia

We need the new amendment NDP-37 in both official languages, Ms. Collins. Can you get that to the committee?

5:25 p.m.

NDP

Laurel Collins NDP Victoria, BC

Absolutely.

The Chair Liberal Francis Scarpaleggia

There are three versions of NDP‑37, but we are talking about the third version, which I don't think the committee members have because we only found out about it during the meeting. It's quite likely, then, that they don't have it.

We have two weeks to get the amendment translated and sent to the clerk, who will then send it out to the committee members.

On that note, I suggest we adjourn the meeting. I hope everyone enjoys their two weeks off in their ridings. Get some rest if you can.

Conservative

Gérard Deltell Conservative Louis-Saint-Laurent, QC

Mr. Chair, they aren't two weeks off. They are two weeks of engagements and activities in the community and the riding. We'll be meeting with our constituents. Shame on anyone who thinks we will be enjoying time off.

5:25 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Francis Scarpaleggia

You're absolutely right. I take back what I said.

Have a good weekend everyone.

The meeting is adjourned.
