In the 15 seconds I have left, I'll provide verbal notice of a motion. Out of respect for my new colleague from the NDP and the non-permanent member from the Bloc, I won't move it.
It is the following: In respect of amendments to Bill C-59 ruled in order and substantive by the Chair, that clause-by-clause for these respective clauses be paused until such time as officials present testimony on these amendments; that the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, President of the Treasury Board or—it's “or”; I'm not being greedy here—the Minister of National Revenue appear for one hour to answer the committee's questions. However, in order to be expeditious with the bill, this does not prevent other clauses from being reviewed out of order.
If there are substantive amendments coming to this bill, we need to examine them with the proper testimony. We were shortchanged access to the CRA officials and other officials at the very beginning of this study, so this is the motion that has now been tabled in public.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
