Thank you.
Shall clause 168 carry on division?
(Clause 168 agreed to on division)
(On clause 169)
We have about two minutes left. Would it be possible to see clauses 169 to 177 as one and get an explanation on them?
9:25 p.m.
Acting Director General, Financial Crimes Governance and Operations, Financial Systems Division, Financial Sector Policy Branch, Department of Finance
Clause 169 has changes very comparable to those in clause 168, but this is the clause that refers to domestic authorities with a national security focus.

We are going to have to end it there. We are in a bit of a bind on Bill C-30 and everything that it represents. In any event, that's Parliament.
There are no meeting times that we can scrounge up for tomorrow. Part of this is how Parliament works now with Zoom, and committees are backed up. There are only so many rooms and so many people to assist with translation. It is what it is.
There's nothing available on Friday and there's absolutely nothing on Monday. We have our regular time slot on Tuesday, and we will attempt to get more time. I would suggest to people to ask their whips to see if we can get more time so that we can get this bill back to the House floor.
That's for people's information at the moment.
To all the witnesses who are in the waiting room and to the officials who came and answered questions, some of them for a very long time, I want to give our thanks on behalf of all the committee for your efforts tonight. That's on behalf of every member here.
Pat, you have your hand up.

I was really only going to say that we had extraordinarily good information today, and I'd like to thank the public servants for their tremendous work. They provide such professional service to Canadians.
Thank you.

We'll second that.
To our translators, I know that it is really, really tough to sit in the booth and have to translate a lot of this technical stuff, especially when it comes to finance issues. Fisheries was the same, though, and agriculture too; there are lots of technicalities there.
With that, folks, we will adjourn this meeting The next meeting will be at the call of the chair, but it will be Tuesday, I'm sure.
Thank you all. The meeting is adjourned.
