Welcome back, everyone, from a wonderful hiatus, a good suspension.
I'm pleased to report that there has been some progress on our motion. We're moving back and forth between parties, but I don't believe we'll have a consensus tonight. We will be hearing from multiple other witnesses. I believe that where we were, Mr. Chair, was an agreement to withdraw Mr. Morantz's subamendment. I have sent to the clerk a new subamendment that I would like to put forward. I don't know if that's been distributed.
I'll read it into the record for the benefit of those watching at home.
The new subamendment would replace the subamendment that was withdrawn such that, in item ii, it would read, “That the week of the 28th and future meetings be dedicated to hearing from witnesses for no fewer than 12 hours and the clerk invite Mr. Mark Carney as a witness to testify with respect to the budget 2024, the economy and the environment for no fewer than two hours”.
That's the subamendment I'd like to move, if it's ruled in order by the chair.
Is that acceptable to the chair?
It's a new subamendment. We withdrew Mr. Morantz's subamendment.
