Before I go to Mr. van Koeverden and Ms. Chatel there are a couple of things.
One is that the notice said we'd meet until 1:30. However, we don't have to go until 1:30. If we're not ready for the witnesses at noon we have to extend the time unless somebody wants to propose an adjournment. That's one point.
The second point is that it was brought to my attention that we may need to modify one word in the motion as a result of the amendment to strike “that the Committee report this to the House”. Because we've struck that, it doesn't make sense to put “that the government table a written response.” We could put “that the government provide a written response” because we're not reporting to the House.
Is it acceptable that we change the word “table” to “provide”?
